29 ///\brief Observer notifier for graph alteration observers.
33 /// \ingroup graphbits
35 /// \brief Notifier class to notify observes about alterations in
38 /// The simple graph's can be refered as two containers, one node container
39 /// and one edge container. But they are not standard containers they
40 /// does not store values directly they are just key continars for more
41 /// value containers which are the node and edge maps.
43 /// The graph's node and edge sets can be changed as we add or erase
44 /// nodes and edges in the graph. Lemon would like to handle easily
45 /// that the node and edge maps should contain values for all nodes or
46 /// edges. If we want to check on every indicing if the map contains
47 /// the current indicing key that cause a drawback in the performance
48 /// in the library. We use another solution we notify all maps about
49 /// an alteration in the graph, which cause only drawback on the
50 /// alteration of the graph.
52 /// This class provides an interface to the container. The \e first() and \e
53 /// next() member functions make possible to iterate on the keys of the
54 /// container. The \e id() function returns an integer id for each key.
55 /// The \e maxId() function gives back an upper bound of the ids.
57 /// For the proper functonality of this class, we should notify it
58 /// about each alteration in the container. The alterations have four type
59 /// as \e add(), \e erase(), \e build() and \e clear(). The \e add() and
60 /// \e erase() signals that only one or few items added or erased to or
61 /// from the graph. If all items are erased from the graph or from an empty
62 /// graph a new graph is builded then it can be signaled with the
63 /// clear() and build() members. Important rule that if we erase items
64 /// from graph we should first signal the alteration and after that erase
65 /// them from the container, on the other way on item addition we should
66 /// first extend the container and just after that signal the alteration.
68 /// The alteration can be observed with a class inherited from the
69 /// \e ObserverBase nested class. The signals can be handled with
70 /// overriding the virtual functions defined in the base class. The
71 /// observer base can be attached to the notifier with the
72 /// \e attach() member and can be detached with detach() function. The
73 /// alteration handlers should not call any function which signals
74 /// an other alteration in the same notifier and should not
75 /// detach any observer from the notifier.
77 /// Alteration observers try to be exception safe. If an \e add() or
78 /// a \e clear() function throws an exception then the remaining
79 /// observeres will not be notified and the fulfilled additions will
80 /// be rolled back by calling the \e erase() or \e clear()
81 /// functions. Thence the \e erase() and \e clear() should not throw
82 /// exception. Actullay, it can be throw only
83 /// \ref AlterationObserver::ImmediateDetach ImmediateDetach
84 /// exception which detach the observer from the notifier.
86 /// There are some place when the alteration observing is not completly
87 /// reliable. If we want to carry out the node degree in the graph
88 /// as in the \ref InDegMap and we use the reverseEdge that cause
89 /// unreliable functionality. Because the alteration observing signals
90 /// only erasing and adding but not the reversing it will stores bad
91 /// degrees. The sub graph adaptors cannot signal the alterations because
92 /// just a setting in the filter map can modify the graph and this cannot
93 /// be watched in any way.
95 /// \param _Container The container which is observed.
96 /// \param _Item The item type which is obserbved.
