Public Types
typedef virtual_types< Self >::series_t	series_t
	The type of the series set associated with the automaton.
typedef Self	self_t
	Exact type of the most derivated type in the hierarchy.
Public Member Functions
const series_t &	series () const
	Accessor to the set of series of the automaton.
bool	contains (const Element< Self, T > &elt) const
	Check if a given element is compatible with the structural element.
bool	contains (const Element< OtherS, T > &other) const
	Specialization of containts that always return false.
bool	contains (const T &elt_value) const
	Check if an anonymous value is compatible with a structural element.
Element< Self, T >	choose (SELECTOR(T)) const
	Choose randomly an element in the structure.
self_t &	self ()
	Accessor to the real type.
Protected Member Functions
	AutomataBase ()
	The default constructor is protected since it is an abstract class.
	AutomataBase (const AutomataBase &other)

Detailed Description

template<typename Self>
struct vcsn::AutomataBase< Self >

The most general concept of automaton.

It symbolises the set of automata with multiplicity over a fixed semiring and a fixed free monoid. Note that this class is abstract in the hierarchy.

Member Function Documentation

bool contains (  const Element< OtherS, T > &  other  )  const [inherited]

Specialization of containts that always return false. Indeed, elements structured by a particular type are always incompatible with structural elements of another type.

self_t& self (   )  [inherited]

Accessor to the real type. This accessor is intended to be used by implementations in this class and derivated structures to obtain a reference to the structural element with its most derivated type.
