\page migration Migration from the 0.x Series
alpar@305
    23
alpar@305
    24
This guide gives an in depth description on what has changed compared
kpeter@306
    25
to the 0.x release series.
alpar@305
    26
alpar@305
    27
Many of these changes adjusted automatically by the
kpeter@343
    28
<tt>lemon-0.x-to-1.x.sh</tt> tool. Those requiring manual
alpar@305
    29
update are typeset <b>boldface</b>.

\section migration-graph Graph Related Name Changes
alpar@305
    32
kpeter@306
    33
- \ref concepts::Digraph "Directed graphs" are called \c Digraph and
kpeter@306
    34
  they have <tt>Arc</tt>s (instead of <tt>Edge</tt>s), while
kpeter@306
    35
  \ref concepts::Graph "undirected graphs" are called \c Graph
kpeter@306
    36
  (instead of \c UGraph) and they have <tt>Edge</tt>s (instead of
kpeter@306
    37
  <tt>UEdge</tt>s). These changes reflected thoroughly everywhere in
alpar@305
    38
  the library. Namely,
alpar@305
    39
  - \c Graph -> \c Digraph
kpeter@306
    40
    - \c %ListGraph -> \c ListDigraph, \c %SmartGraph -> \c SmartDigraph etc.
alpar@305
    41
  - \c UGraph -> \c Graph
alpar@305
    42
    - \c ListUGraph -> \c ListGraph, \c SmartUGraph -> \c SmartGraph etc.
kpeter@306
    43
  - \c Edge -> \c Arc, \c UEdge -> \c Edge
kpeter@306
    44
  - \c EdgeMap -> \c ArcMap, \c UEdgeMap -> \c EdgeMap
kpeter@306
    45
  - \c EdgeIt -> \c ArcIt, \c UEdgeIt -> \c EdgeIt
kpeter@306
    46
  - Class names and function names containing the words \c graph,
kpeter@306
    47
    \c ugraph, \e edge or \e arc should also be updated.
alpar@305
    48
- <b>The two endpoints of an (\e undirected) \c Edge can be obtained by the
kpeter@306
    49
  <tt>u()</tt> and <tt>v()</tt> member function of the graph
alpar@305
    50
  (instead of <tt>source()</tt> and <tt>target()</tt>). This change
alpar@305
    51
  must be done by hand.</b>
alpar@305
    52
  \n Of course, you can still use <tt>source()</tt> and <tt>target()</tt>
alpar@305
    53
  for <tt>Arc</tt>s (directed edges).
alpar@305
    54
kpeter@306
    55
\warning
kpeter@343
    56
<b>The <tt>lemon-0.x-to-1.x.sh</tt> script replaces the words \c graph,
kpeter@343
    57
\c ugraph, \c edge and \c uedge in your own identifiers and in
kpeter@343
    58
strings, comments etc. as well as in all LEMON specific identifiers.
kpeter@343
    59
So use the script carefully and make a backup copy of your source files
kpeter@343
    60
before applying the script to them.</b>

\section migration-lgf LGF tools
deba@308
    63
 - The \ref lgf-format "LGF file format" has changed,
deba@308
    64
   <tt>\@nodeset</tt> has changed to <tt>\@nodes</tt>,
deba@308
    65
   <tt>\@edgeset</tt> and <tt>\@uedgeset</tt> to <tt>\@arcs</tt> or
deba@308
    66
   <tt>\@edges</tt>, which become completely equivalents. The
deba@308
    67
   <tt>\@nodes</tt>, <tt>\@edges</tt> and <tt>\@uedges</tt> sections are
deba@308
    68
   removed from the format, the content of them should be
deba@308
    69
   the part of <tt>\@attributes</tt> section. The data fields in
deba@308
    70
   the sections must follow a strict format, they must be either character
deba@308
    71
   sequences without whitespaces or quoted strings.
deba@308
    72
 - The <tt>LemonReader</tt> and <tt>LemonWriter</tt> core interfaces
deba@308
    73
   are no longer available.
deba@308
    74
 - The implementation of the general section readers and writers has changed
deba@308
    75
   they are simple functors now. Beside the old
deba@308
    76
   stream based section handling, currently line oriented section
deba@308
    77
   reading and writing are also supported. In the
deba@308
    78
   section readers the lines must be counted manually. The sections
deba@308
    79
   should be read and written with the SectionWriter and SectionReader
deba@308
    80
   classes.
deba@308
    81
 - Instead of the item readers and writers, item converters should be
deba@308
    82
   used. The converters are functors, which map the type to
deba@308
    83
   std::string or std::string to the type. The converters for standard
deba@308
    84
   containers hasn't yet been implemented in the new LEMON. The converters
deba@308
    85
   can return strings in any format, because if it is necessary, the LGF
deba@308
    86
   writer and reader will quote and unquote the given value.
deba@308
    87
 - The DigraphReader and DigraphWriter can used similarly to the
deba@308
    88
   0.x series, however the <tt>read</tt> or <tt>write</tt> prefix of
deba@308
    89
   the member functions are removed.
deba@308
    90
 - The new LEMON supports the function like interface, the \c
deba@308
    91
   digraphReader and \c digraphWriter functions are more convenient than
deba@308
    92
   using the classes directly.

\section migration-search BFS, DFS and Dijkstra
kpeter@306
    95
- <b>Using the function interface of BFS, DFS and %Dijkstra both source and
kpeter@306
    96
  target nodes can be given as parameters of the <tt>run()</tt> function
kpeter@306
    97
  (instead of \c bfs(), \c dfs() or \c dijkstra() itself).</b>
kpeter@306
    98
- \ref named-templ-param "Named class template parameters" of \c Bfs,
kpeter@306
    99
  \c Dfs, \c Dijkstra, \c BfsVisit, \c DfsVisit are renamed to start
kpeter@306
   100
  with "Set" instead of "Def". Namely,
kpeter@306
   101
  - \c DefPredMap -> \c SetPredMap
kpeter@306
   102
  - \c DefDistMap -> \c SetDistMap
kpeter@306
   103
  - \c DefReachedMap -> \c SetReachedMap
kpeter@306
   104
  - \c DefProcessedMap -> \c SetProcessedMap
kpeter@306
   105
  - \c DefHeap -> \c SetHeap
kpeter@306
   106
  - \c DefStandardHeap -> \c SetStandardHeap
kpeter@306
   107
  - \c DefOperationTraits -> \c SetOperationTraits
kpeter@306
   108
  - \c DefProcessedMapToBeDefaultMap -> \c SetStandardProcessedMap

\section migration-error Exceptions and Debug tools
alpar@305
   111
alpar@307
   112
<b>The class hierarchy of exceptions has largely been simplified. Now,
alpar@307
   113
only the i/o related tools may throw exceptions. All other exceptions
alpar@307
   114
have been replaced with either the \c LEMON_ASSERT or the \c LEMON_DEBUG
alpar@307
   115
macros.</b>
alpar@307
   116
alpar@307
   117
<b>On the other hand, the parameter order of constructors of the
alpar@307
   118
exceptions has been changed. See \ref IoError and \ref FormatError for
alpar@307
   119
more details.</b>

alpar@305
   121
\section migration-other Others
kpeter@306
   122
- <b>The contents of <tt>graph_utils.h</tt> are moved to <tt>core.h</tt>
kpeter@306
   123
  and <tt>maps.h</tt>. <tt>core.h</tt> is included by all graph types,
kpeter@306
   124
  therefore it usually do not have to be included directly.</b>
kpeter@306
   125
- <b><tt>path_utils.h</tt> is merged to \c path.h.</b>
alpar@307
   126
- <b>The semantic of the assignment operations and copy constructors of maps
alpar@307
   127
  are still under discussion. So, you must copy them by hand (i.e. copy
alpar@307
   128
  each entry one-by-one)</b>
kpeter@306
   129
- <b>The parameters of the graph copying tools (i.e. \c GraphCopy,
kpeter@306
   130
  \c DigraphCopy) have to be given in the from-to order.</b>
kpeter@306
   131
- \c copyDigraph() and \c copyGraph() are renamed to \c digraphCopy()
kpeter@306
   132
  and \c graphCopy(), respectively.
alpar@307
   133
- <b>The interface of \ref DynArcLookUp has changed. It is now the same as
alpar@307
   134
  of \ref ArcLookUp and \ref AllArcLookUp</b>
kpeter@306
   135
- Some map types should also been renamed. Namely,
kpeter@306
   136
  - \c IntegerMap -> \c RangeMap
kpeter@306
   137
  - \c StdMap -> \c SparseMap
kpeter@306
   138
  - \c FunctorMap -> \c FunctorToMap
kpeter@306
   139
  - \c MapFunctor -> \c MapToFunctor
kpeter@306
   140
  - \c ForkWriteMap -> \c ForkMap
kpeter@306
   141
  - \c StoreBoolMap -> \c LoggerBoolMap
kpeter@306
   142
- \c dim2::BoundingBox -> \c dim2::Box
