Element< Self, T >	choose_starable (SELECTOR(T)) const
	A randomly chosen starable semiring element.
template<class T>
Element< Self, T >	choose_non_starable (SELECTOR(T)) const
	A randomly chosen non-starable semiring element.
template<typename T>
Element< Self, T >	identity (SELECTOR(T)) const

bool	contains (const Element< OtherS, T > &other) const
	Specialization of contains that always returns false.
bool	contains (const T &elt_value) const

	Choose randomly an element in the structure.
self_t &	self ()
	Accessor to the real type.
Protected Member Functions
	SeriesBase ()
	Default constructor is protected since it is an abstract class.
	SeriesBase (const SeriesBase &other)
	Copy constructor is protected since it is an abstract class.

Member Function Documentation

bool can_choose_non_starable (  SELECTOR(T)   )  const [inherited]

Whether it is possible to call choose_non_starable. There's no need for can_choose_starable, since Zero is always starable and therefor can be choosen. Definition at line 52 of file semiring_base.hxx.

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

Specialization of contains that always returns 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. To be used by implementations in this class and derived structures to obtain a reference to the structural element with its most derived type. Referenced by vcsn::op_contains(), vcsn::op_convert(), vcsn::op_in_mirror(), vcsn::op_letter_delta(), vcsn::op_letter_deltac(), vcsn::op_letter_rdelta(), vcsn::op_rdelta(), vcsn::op_rout(), vcsn::op_spontaneous_delta(), and vcsn::op_spontaneous_rdelta().
