Detailed Description

This class takes care of loading cell models at run-time from .so files.

Instantiate it using the factory function Create with the path of a suitable .so file, then call CreateCell to create individual cells.

typedef AbstractCardiacCellInterface* DynamicCellModelLoader::CellCreationFunctionType(boost::shared_ptr< AbstractIvpOdeSolver > pSolver, boost::shared_ptr< AbstractStimulusFunction > pStimulus)

private

Type of the cell creation function in the .so files

Parameters

pSolver	ODE solver used to simulate the cell
pStimulus	intracellular stimulus

DynamicCellModelLoader::DynamicCellModelLoader ( const std::string &  rLoadableModulePath )

private

Private constructor to ensure we're always stored in a shared pointer.

Parameters

rLoadableModulePath

path to .so file

Member Function Documentation

DynamicCellModelLoaderPtr DynamicCellModelLoader::Create ( const std::string &  rLoadableModulePath )

static

Create a cell model loader by opening a loadable module (.so file) containing a cell model.

Note

The loader object must remain alive for as long as you want to use cells created with it, or you'll get a segfault. Hence the constructor is private, and this factory function must be used to create a loader.

Parameters

rLoadableModulePath

path to .so file

Returns

loader object

AbstractCardiacCellInterface * DynamicCellModelLoader::CreateCell	(	boost::shared_ptr< AbstractIvpOdeSolver >	pSolver,
		boost::shared_ptr< AbstractStimulusFunction >	pStimulus
	)

Returns

a newly created cardiac cell from this dynamic module.

The caller takes responsibility for deleting the cell when it's finished with.

Parameters

pSolver	ODE solver used to simulate the cell
pStimulus	intracellular stimulus

Returns

the absolute path to the .so file we have loaded
