Right now,
attach_indices
only works for primitives. For predicates, there is no convenient way to attach indices to predicates. Theattach
only works on a single predicate and not limited to indices.Attaching indices to primitives and predicates result in different types and access methods. Primitives result in
PairValueIndex<Value, Index>
, while predicates result in an unspecified type that the index can be accessed bygetData()
.I'm not sure how how much of a problem returning different types is. The function serves the same role for both primitives and predicates: conveniently adjust passed in data in some easy way for the hierarchy. Both types should really be undefined. The difference is that in the first case the argument appears in the hierarchy template specialization.
The two types should be different, though. The predicate attachment inherits from the predicate and may provide
distance()
function; the access to the data is also done on the user side, thusgetData()
function. The primitive attachment is a simple storage and will only be used internally.
