Detailed Description

Base class for Modules.

A module is the smallest building block of the framework. A typical event processing chain consists of a Path containing modules. By inheriting from this base class, various types of modules can be created.

Each module class is identified by its unique name, and should end in ...Module. To make the module 'SomeRecoModule' known to the framework, use REG_MODULE(SomeReco). It will then show up in the module list as 'SomeReco'.

Modules can also define a return value (int or bool) using setReturnValue(), which can be used in the steering file to split the Path based on the set value:

module_with_condition.if_value("<1", another_path)

In case the module condition for a given event is less than 1, the execution will be diverted into another_path for this event. You could for example set a special return value if an error occurs, and divert the execution into a path containing RootOutput if it is found; saving only the data producing/ produced by the error.

The 'Module Development' section in the manual provides detailed information on how to create modules, setting parameters, or using return values/conditions: https://confluence.desy.de/display/BI/Software+Basf2manual#Module_Development

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ EModulePropFlags

enum EModulePropFlags

Each module can be tagged with property flags, which indicate certain features of the module.

Enumerator
c_Input	This module is an input module (reads data).
c_Output	This module is an output module (writes data).
c_ParallelProcessingCertified	This module can be run in parallel processing mode safely (All I/O must be done through the data store, in particular, the module must not write any files.)
c_HistogramManager	This module is used to manage histograms accumulated by other modules.
c_InternalSerializer	This module is an internal serializer/deserializer for parallel processing.
c_TerminateInAllProcesses	When using parallel processing, call this module's terminate() function in all processes(). This will also ensure that there is exactly one process (single-core if no parallel modules found) or at least one input, one main and one output process.
c_DontCollectStatistics	No statistics is collected for this module.

Sets a conditional sub path which will be executed after this
module if the return value set in the module passes the given ``expression``.
 
Modules can define a return value (int or bool) using ``setReturnValue()``,
which can be used in the steering file to split the Path based on this value, for example
 
>>> module_with_condition.if_value("<1", another_path)
 
In case the return value of the ``module_with_condition`` for a given event is
less than 1, the execution will be diverted into ``another_path`` for this event.
 
You could for example set a special return value if an error occurs, and divert
the execution into a path containing :b2:mod:`RootOutput` if it is found;
saving only the data producing/produced by the error.
 
After a conditional path has executed, basf2 will by default stop processing
the path for this event. This behaviour can be changed by setting the
``after_condition_path`` argument.
 
Parameters:
  expression (str): Expression to determine if the conditional path should be executed.
      This should be one of the comparison operators ``<``, ``>``, ``<=``,
      ``>=``, ``==``, or ``!=`` followed by a numerical value for the return value

◆ getFileNames()

virtual std::vector< std::string > getFileNames ( bool outputFiles )

inlinevirtual

Return a list of output filenames for this modules.

This will be called when basf2 is run with "--dry-run" if the module has set either the c_Input or c_Output properties.

If the parameter outputFiles is false (for modules with c_Input) the list of input filenames should be returned (if any). If outputFiles is true (for modules with c_Output) the list of output files should be returned (if any).

If a module has sat both properties this member is called twice, once for each property.

The module should return the actual list of requested input or produced output filenames (including handling of input/output overrides) so that the grid system can handle input/output files correctly.

This function should return the same value when called multiple times. This is especially important when taking the input/output overrides from Environment as they get consumed when obtained so the finalized list of output files should be stored for subsequent calls.

Reimplemented in RootInputModule, StorageRootOutputModule, and RootOutputModule.

◆ if_false()

void if_false	(	const std::shared_ptr< Path > &	path,

A simplified version to add a condition to the module.

Please note that successive calls of this function will add more than one condition to the module. If more than one condition results in true, only the last of them will be used.

Please be careful: Avoid creating cyclic paths, e.g. by linking a condition to a path which is processed before the path where this module is located in.

It is equivalent to the if_value() method, using the expression "<1". This method is meant to be used together with the setReturnValue(bool value) method.

Parameters

path	Shared pointer to the Path which will be executed if the return value is false.
afterConditionPath	What to do after executing 'path'.

Definition at line 85 of file Module.cc.

{
  if_value("<1", path, afterConditionPath);

Please note that successive calls of this function will add more than one condition to the module. If more than one condition results in true, only the last of them will be used.

Please be careful: Avoid creating cyclic paths, e.g. by linking a condition to a path which is processed before the path where this module is located in.

It is equivalent to the if_value() method, using the expression ">=1". This method is meant to be used together with the setReturnValue(bool value) method.

Parameters

path	Shared pointer to the Path which will be executed if the return value is true.

	)

Add a condition to the module.

Please note that successive calls of this function will add more than one condition to the module. If more than one condition results in true, only the last of them will be used.

See https://confluence.desy.de/display/BI/Software+ModCondTut or ModuleCondition for a description of the syntax.

Please be careful: Avoid creating cyclic paths, e.g. by linking a condition to a path which is processed before the path where this module is located in.
