Todo List

Page IO system

Querying which options may apply to a given DataSource (ie: is partial reading implemented or not?)

List of standard options, options checking...

Class soma::DataSource

readBlock() and writeBlock() should use pointers of type void* instead of char*, because the type of contained objects is not specified. This would remove the need to reinterpret_cast, which is prone to error.

Class soma::FormatReader< T >

Needs to be added:

• options description (mandatory / optional / unrecognized)
• generic options to allocate a new object corresponding to the datasource contents (allocate a volume with adhoc dimensions, with given borders...), done by Creator

Class soma::LowLevelAllocator

The LowLevelAllocator API should use pointers of type void* instead of char*, because the type of contained objects is not specified. This would remove the need to reinterpret_cast, which is prone to error.
