Introduction

The CIFLibCommon package contains several files that converge together in the CifString class and ReVarCifArray and ReVarPCifArray template classe

CifString is dynamic, resizable string class.

• CifString class provides all function as primitive string.

• Reallocaton of memory for CifString is done automaticaly by specified increment.

• CifString class provides reference counting.

ReVarCifArray is resizable, variable-length array template class, where the type of contained object can be any other class. That means we can have, for example, resizable, variable-length array of CifStrings.

ReVarPCifArray is resizable, variable-length array template class, where the type of contained object can be any primitive type, such as integer, long, etc.

• ReVarCifArray and ReVarPCifArray have the same methods. Some private methods are different because of memory allocation.

• Reallocaton of memory for array is done automaticaly by specified increment

Note: Every class that we wont to put in ReVarCifArray has to have DeleteElement() method. This method has the same functionality as destructor.
