Detailed Description

Base class for calculating distances between two lat/long coordinates.

Experimental - see https://xapian.org/docs/deprecation#experimental-features

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual LatLongMetric * Xapian::LatLongMetric::clone ( ) const
pure virtual

Clone the metric.

Implemented in Xapian::GreatCircleMetric.

◆ name()

virtual std::string Xapian::LatLongMetric::name ( ) const
pure virtual

Return the full name of the metric.

This is used when serialising and unserialising metrics; for example, for performing remote searches.

If the subclass is in a C++ namespace, the namespace should be included in the name, using "::" as a separator. For example, for a LatLongMetric subclass called "FooLatLongMetric" in the "Xapian" namespace the result of this call should be "Xapian::FooLatLongMetric".

Implemented in Xapian::GreatCircleMetric.

◆ operator()() [1/3]

double Xapian::LatLongMetric::operator() ( const LatLongCoords a,
const char *  b_ptr,
size_t  b_len 
) const

Return the distance between two coordinate lists, in metres.

One of the coordinate lists is supplied in serialised form.

The distance between the coordinate lists is defined to be the minimum pairwise distance between coordinates in the lists.

Exceptions
InvalidArgumentErroreither of the lists is empty.
Parameters
aThe first coordinate list.
b_ptrThe start of the serialised form of the second coordinate list.
b_lenThe length of the serialised form of the second coordinate list.

◆ operator()() [2/3]

double Xapian::LatLongMetric::operator() ( const LatLongCoords a,
const LatLongCoords b 
) const

Return the distance between two coordinate lists, in metres.

The distance between the coordinate lists is defined to be the minimum pairwise distance between coordinates in the lists.

Exceptions
InvalidArgumentErroreither of the lists is empty.
Parameters
aThe first coordinate list.
bThe second coordinate list.

◆ operator()() [3/3]

double Xapian::LatLongMetric::operator() ( const LatLongCoords a,
const std::string &  b 
) const
inline

Return the distance between two coordinate lists, in metres.

One of the coordinate lists is supplied in serialised form.

The distance between the coordinate lists is defined to be the minimum pairwise distance between coordinates in the lists.

Exceptions
InvalidArgumentErroreither of the lists is empty.
Parameters
aThe first coordinate list.
bThe second coordinate list, in serialised form.

References Xapian::LatLongCoords::size().

◆ pointwise_distance()

virtual double Xapian::LatLongMetric::pointwise_distance ( const LatLongCoord a,
const LatLongCoord b 
) const
pure virtual

Return the distance between two coordinates, in metres.

Implemented in Xapian::GreatCircleMetric.

◆ serialise()

virtual std::string Xapian::LatLongMetric::serialise ( ) const
pure virtual

Serialise object parameters into a string.

The serialised parameters should represent the configuration of the metric.

Implemented in Xapian::GreatCircleMetric.

◆ unserialise()

virtual LatLongMetric * Xapian::LatLongMetric::unserialise ( const std::string &  serialised) const
pure virtual

Create object given string serialisation returned by serialise().

Parameters
serialisedA serialised instance of this LatLongMetric subclass.

Implemented in Xapian::GreatCircleMetric.
