112This class serves to expand links used within configuration files.
113<p>
114Value of any type but string can be linked to some other value of the same type defined elsewhere in the current configuration file or even in some different configuration file.<p>
115Link have three parts, &lt;name&gt; : &lt;path&gt; &lt;@filename&gt;. Field &lt;name&gt; contains the name of the new setting, &lt;path&gt; is the relative path to the referenced setting, which has to be taken from the root Setting element. The last part &lt;@filename&gt; is optional, it contains filename in the case the link should refer to a variable stored in a different file. From the previous part &lt;path&gt;, it has to be separated by '@'.<p>

144When you want to expand a possible linked setting "element" within your code, it has to be treated this way:<p>
145<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">        ...
146
147        <span class="keyword">const</span> <a class="code" href="classbdm_1_1SettingResolver.html#e2299746b95bf8af54a867aaf52fc8da" title="If potential_link contains a link to some other setting, it is resolved here. Anyway...">SettingResolver</a> link( element );
148
149        ...
150
151        <span class="keywordtype">int</span> len = link.result.getLength();
152
153        ...
154</pre></div><p>
155The whole point is that a resolved link (class member <a class="el" href="classbdm_1_1SettingResolver.html#adfcd0a81d025c52c8335b6aea07b498" title="Reference to a resolved link or to the original Setting in the case it does not contain...">result</a>, i.e., "link.result" in the previous example) could point into a different configuration file. In that case there has to be an <a class="el" href="classbdm_1_1UIFile.html" title="This class serves to load and/or save user-infos into/from configuration files stored...">UIFile</a> instance managing reading from this file. As the libconfig::Config deletes all its Settings when dealocated, <a class="el" href="classbdm_1_1UIFile.html" title="This class serves to load and/or save user-infos into/from configuration files stored...">UIFile</a> must not be dealocated until all the necessary operation on the linked Setting are finished (otherwise, the link <a class="el" href="classbdm_1_1SettingResolver.html#adfcd0a81d025c52c8335b6aea07b498" title="Reference to a resolved link or to the original Setting in the case it does not contain...">result</a> would be invalid just after the <a class="el" href="classbdm_1_1UIFile.html" title="This class serves to load and/or save user-infos into/from configuration files stored...">UIFile</a> dealocation). And that is exactly the mechanism implemented within <a class="el" href="classbdm_1_1SettingResolver.html" title="This class serves to expand links used within configuration files.">SettingResolver</a> class. It assures, that the <a class="el" href="classbdm_1_1SettingResolver.html#adfcd0a81d025c52c8335b6aea07b498" title="Reference to a resolved link or to the original Setting in the case it does not contain...">result</a> Setting reference is valid within the scope of <a class="el" href="classbdm_1_1SettingResolver.html" title="This class serves to expand links used within configuration files.">SettingResolver</a> instance.<p>
