22 \page migration Migration from the 0.x Series
24 This guide gives an in depth description on what has changed compared
25 to the 0.x release series.
27 Many of these changes adjusted automatically by the
28 <tt>lemon-0.x-to-1.x.sh</tt> tool. Those requiring manual
29 update are typeset <b>boldface</b>.
31 \section migration-graph Graph Related Name Changes
33 - \ref concepts::Digraph "Directed graphs" are called \c Digraph and
34 they have <tt>Arc</tt>s (instead of <tt>Edge</tt>s), while
35 \ref concepts::Graph "undirected graphs" are called \c Graph
36 (instead of \c UGraph) and they have <tt>Edge</tt>s (instead of
37 <tt>UEdge</tt>s). These changes reflected thoroughly everywhere in
39 - \c Graph -> \c Digraph
40 - \c %ListGraph -> \c ListDigraph, \c %SmartGraph -> \c SmartDigraph etc.
41 - \c UGraph -> \c Graph
42 - \c ListUGraph -> \c ListGraph, \c SmartUGraph -> \c SmartGraph etc.
43 - \c Edge -> \c Arc, \c UEdge -> \c Edge
44 - \c EdgeMap -> \c ArcMap, \c UEdgeMap -> \c EdgeMap
45 - \c EdgeIt -> \c ArcIt, \c UEdgeIt -> \c EdgeIt
46 - Class names and function names containing the words \c graph,
47 \c ugraph, \e edge or \e arc should also be updated.
48 - <b>The two endpoints of an (\e undirected) \c Edge can be obtained by the
49 <tt>u()</tt> and <tt>v()</tt> member function of the graph
50 (instead of <tt>source()</tt> and <tt>target()</tt>). This change
51 must be done by hand.</b>
52 \n Of course, you can still use <tt>source()</tt> and <tt>target()</tt>
53 for <tt>Arc</tt>s (directed edges).
56 <b>The <tt>lemon-0.x-to-1.x.sh</tt> script replaces the words \c graph,
57 \c ugraph, \c edge and \c uedge in your own identifiers and in
58 strings, comments etc. as well as in all LEMON specific identifiers.
59 So use the script carefully and make a backup copy of your source files
60 before applying the script to them.</b>
62 \section migration-lgf LGF tools
63 - The \ref lgf-format "LGF file format" has changed,
64 <tt>\@nodeset</tt> has changed to <tt>\@nodes</tt>,
65 <tt>\@edgeset</tt> and <tt>\@uedgeset</tt> to <tt>\@arcs</tt> or
66 <tt>\@edges</tt>, which become completely equivalents. The
67 <tt>\@nodes</tt>, <tt>\@edges</tt> and <tt>\@uedges</tt> sections are
68 removed from the format, the content of them should be
69 the part of <tt>\@attributes</tt> section. The data fields in
70 the sections must follow a strict format, they must be either character
71 sequences without whitespaces or quoted strings.
72 - The <tt>LemonReader</tt> and <tt>LemonWriter</tt> core interfaces
73 are no longer available.
74 - The implementation of the general section readers and writers has changed
75 they are simple functors now. Beside the old
76 stream based section handling, currently line oriented section
77 reading and writing are also supported. In the
78 section readers the lines must be counted manually. The sections
79 should be read and written with the SectionWriter and SectionReader
81 - Instead of the item readers and writers, item converters should be
82 used. The converters are functors, which map the type to
83 std::string or std::string to the type. The converters for standard
84 containers hasn't yet been implemented in the new LEMON. The converters
85 can return strings in any format, because if it is necessary, the LGF
86 writer and reader will quote and unquote the given value.
87 - The DigraphReader and DigraphWriter can used similarly to the
88 0.x series, however the <tt>read</tt> or <tt>write</tt> prefix of
89 the member functions are removed.
90 - The new LEMON supports the function like interface, the \c
91 digraphReader and \c digraphWriter functions are more convenient than
92 using the classes directly.
94 \section migration-search BFS, DFS and Dijkstra
95 - <b>Using the function interface of BFS, DFS and %Dijkstra both source and
96 target nodes can be given as parameters of the <tt>run()</tt> function
97 (instead of \c bfs(), \c dfs() or \c dijkstra() itself).</b>
98 - \ref named-templ-param "Named class template parameters" of \c Bfs,
99 \c Dfs, \c Dijkstra, \c BfsVisit, \c DfsVisit are renamed to start
100 with "Set" instead of "Def". Namely,
101 - \c DefPredMap -> \c SetPredMap
102 - \c DefDistMap -> \c SetDistMap
103 - \c DefReachedMap -> \c SetReachedMap
104 - \c DefProcessedMap -> \c SetProcessedMap
105 - \c DefHeap -> \c SetHeap
106 - \c DefStandardHeap -> \c SetStandardHeap
107 - \c DefOperationTraits -> \c SetOperationTraits
108 - \c DefProcessedMapToBeDefaultMap -> \c SetStandardProcessedMap
110 \section migration-error Exceptions and Debug tools
112 <b>The class hierarchy of exceptions has largely been simplified. Now,
113 only the i/o related tools may throw exceptions. All other exceptions
114 have been replaced with either the \c LEMON_ASSERT or the \c LEMON_DEBUG
117 <b>On the other hand, the parameter order of constructors of the
118 exceptions has been changed. See \ref IoError and \ref FormatError for
121 \section migration-other Others
122 - <b>The contents of <tt>graph_utils.h</tt> are moved to <tt>core.h</tt>
123 and <tt>maps.h</tt>. <tt>core.h</tt> is included by all graph types,
124 therefore it usually do not have to be included directly.</b>
125 - <b><tt>path_utils.h</tt> is merged to \c path.h.</b>
126 - <b>The semantic of the assignment operations and copy constructors of maps
127 are still under discussion. So, you must copy them by hand (i.e. copy
128 each entry one-by-one)</b>
129 - <b>The parameters of the graph copying tools (i.e. \c GraphCopy,
130 \c DigraphCopy) have to be given in the from-to order.</b>
131 - \c copyDigraph() and \c copyGraph() are renamed to \c digraphCopy()
132 and \c graphCopy(), respectively.
133 - <b>The interface of \ref DynArcLookUp has changed. It is now the same as
134 of \ref ArcLookUp and \ref AllArcLookUp</b>
135 - Some map types should also been renamed. Namely,
136 - \c IntegerMap -> \c RangeMap
137 - \c StdMap -> \c SparseMap
138 - \c FunctorMap -> \c FunctorToMap
139 - \c MapFunctor -> \c MapToFunctor
140 - \c ForkWriteMap -> \c ForkMap
141 - \c StoreBoolMap -> \c LoggerBoolMap
142 - \c dim2::BoundingBox -> \c dim2::Box
