domain

The domain command can be used to create new problem domains or switch from one to another.

Syntax

domain (1)
# (1) int, domain tag

Example

The program adopts a domain concept so that it could hold multiple domains (problems) at the same time. The program starts with a default domain labelled with tag 1. Following output can be seen if a debug version is executed. Irrelevant information has been removed for simplicity.

debug: Storage of Domain ctor() called.
debug: Domain 1 ctor() called.
suanPan ~<>

By using the domain command, readers can create/switch to other domains, if necessary.

suanPan ~<> domain 2
debug: Domain 2 ctor() called.
create_new_domain() successfully creates Domain 2.
suanPan ~<>

Of course, domains can be deleted by using erase, remove or delete.

suanPan ~<> domain 2
debug: Domain 2 ctor() called.
create_new_domain() successfully creates Domain 2.
suanPan ~<> domain 3
debug: Domain 3 ctor() called.
create_new_domain() successfully creates Domain 3.
suanPan ~<> domain 4
debug: Domain 4 ctor() called.
create_new_domain() successfully creates Domain 4.
suanPan ~<> domain 5
debug: Domain 5 ctor() called.
create_new_domain() successfully creates Domain 5.
suanPan ~<> remove domain 2
debug: Domain 2 dtor() called.
suanPan ~<> erase domain 5
debug: Domain 5 dtor() called.
erase_domain() switches to Domain 1.
suanPan ~<> domain 4
create_new_domain() switches to Domain 4.
suanPan ~<> delete domain 3
debug: Domain 3 dtor() called.
suanPan ~<> remove domain 4
erase_domain() switches to Domain 1.
suanPan ~<>

Five domains are created. When remove domain 2 is invoked, the current domain is 5, so 2 is safely removed. When erase domain 5 is invoked, the current domain 5 is then deleted, by default, the program switches to the first domain in the storage, it could be other domains, not necessary 1. When domain 4 is invoked, 4 already exists in the storage so instead of creating a new one, the program switch to the existing one.

Within each domain, independent model can be defined, when analyze command is called, all domains will be analyzed.
