Implementation of a free monoid which aggregates its alphabet.

Member Function Documentation

A & alphabet (   )

Alphabet's accessor. Bug: FIXME: this interface should not exist (s.e. are const once instantiated) Reimplemented from FreeMonoidBase< FreeMonoid< A > >.

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.
