Chapter 6
Reference Manual

The reference manual covers only those classes and class members which are relevant for the user. Therefore, the declarations of the classes in this chapter contain only a subset of the actual members, e.g., private members are usually not documented here. For some classes the copy constructor and/or assignment operator have not been defined, but the default copy constructor and/or assignment operator are not correct. In this case we declare this function and/or this operator as a private member of its class such that its invalid usage is detected already at compile time. In this reference manual this is documented by including the copy constructor and/or assignment operator in the private part of a function. Even if there are other private members of the class they are not documented here.

This reference manual is automatically compiled from the source files of ABACUS. The advantage of this method is that we can always provide an up to date version of the reference manual in future releases of the software. The major drawback of this procedure is that the lack of order of the functions in the current source files is reflected in the reference manual. In particular, there is a often a difference of the order of the member functions in the header of a class and in the documentation. For this reason we added HTML links in the declaration part of the class which point to other classes and to the descriptions of the class members. For a listing of all functions in lexicographical order we refer to the index.

At the end of the reference manual a list of all preprocessor flags is given.
