Field Documentation

LexicalEntry(* LexicalAssocMem::access)(const LexicalMemoryHandler lexical_memory, const LexicalEntryIndex key)

Recover the entry associated to a given key.

Returns the lexical entry associated to a given key of a lexical memory

Remarks:

If no entry corresponds to the given key, the function returns NULL

Parameters:

[in]	lexical_memory	The lexical memory
[in]	key	The key of the entry to recover

Returns:

The corresponding lexical entry

LexicalAccessTable* LexicalAssocMem::access_table

Lexical access table (LAT) encapsulated by the Lexical Associative Memory (LAM)

LexicalEntry(* LexicalAssocMem::getGraphyFromUniqId)(const LexicalMemoryHandler lexical_memory, const UniqId identifier)

Return the graphy corresponding to its unique identifier.

Return the lexical entry given by its unique corresponding identifier.

Remarks:

In a given lexical memory, any stored entry corresponds to a unique identifier and any valid identifier corresponds to a unique stored entry.

Parameters:

[in]	lexical_memory	The lexical memory
[in]	identifier	The entry identifier

Returns:

The corresponding entry
