Functions

new

lucy_NOTQuery* // incremented
lucy_NOTQuery_new(
    lucy_Query *negated_query
);

Create a new NOTQuery.

negated_query

The Query whose result set should be inverted.

init

lucy_NOTQuery*
lucy_NOTQuery_init(
    lucy_NOTQuery *self,
    lucy_Query *negated_query
);

Initialize a NOTQuery.

negated_query

The Query whose result set should be inverted.

Methods

Get_Negated_Query

lucy_Query*
lucy_NOTQuery_Get_Negated_Query(
    lucy_NOTQuery *self
);

Accessor for the object’s negated query.

Set_Negated_Query

void
lucy_NOTQuery_Set_Negated_Query(
    lucy_NOTQuery *self,
    lucy_Query *negated_query
);

Setter for the object’s negated query.

Make_Compiler

lucy_Compiler* // incremented
lucy_NOTQuery_Make_Compiler(
    lucy_NOTQuery *self,
    lucy_Searcher *searcher,
    float boost,
    bool subordinate
);

Abstract factory method returning a Compiler derived from this Query.

searcher

A Searcher.

boost

A scoring multiplier.

subordinate

Indicates whether the Query is a subquery (as opposed to a top-level query). If false, the implementation must invoke Normalize() on the newly minted Compiler object before returning it.

lucy_NOTQuery_To_String(
    lucy_NOTQuery *self
);

Generic stringification: “ClassName@hex_mem_address”.

bool
lucy_NOTQuery_Equals(
    lucy_NOTQuery *self,
    cfish_Obj *other
);

Indicate whether two objects are the same. By default, compares the memory address.

other
