A table for fast access to the labels by entry is implemented in OCAF document. A method TDF_Data::SetAccessByEntries(true) fills-in a table for fast access to the labels. New labels, created later will be added to the table automatically. The method TDF_Tool::Label() will search the entry in the table and then, if not found, will call the old code. Disabling of usage of the table (by calling of TDF_Data::SetAccessByEntries(false)) cleans the internal table of entries - labels. By default, the table is not used.
This improvement is useful for large documents with a lot of labels, and if the application uses entries to get labels. The application should call TDF_Data::SetAccessByEntries(true) for a document and then, the method TDF_Tool::Label() called inside OCAF and XCAF will use the fast access to the labels and speed-up the application.
Also, the method TDF_Tool::Entry() is improved (by MPV).
Modified files:
- TDF_Data.hxx and cxx: the new methods SetAccessByEntries(bool), IsAccessByEntries() and GetLabel(entry) are implemented. No need to use the method GetLabel() directly. It is called in TDF_Tool::Label().
- TDF_Label.cxx: adding of a newly created label to the table of entries - labels.
- TDF_Tool.cxx: the method Entry() is accelerated (by MPV) and Label() is improved to call TDF_Data::GetLabel().
- DDF_DataCommands.cxx: a new draw-command is added SetAccessByEntry, which sets or unsets usage of the table for fast access to the labels. Usage of the draw-command is illustrated in a new test "bugs caf bug31920".
Tests:
- bugs caf bug31920: a new simple test to check TDF_Tool::Label() when fast access to the labels is on.
