Detailed Description

Encapsulates the runtime experiment state.

An experiment is a Population / Domain pair together with a set of configuration knobs which define a particular experiment variation.

Member Function Documentation

prepareForEvolution()

void darwin::Experiment::prepareForEvolution

(

)

Notification that an evolution run is about to start.

Evolution::newExperiment()

setModified()

void darwin::Experiment::setModified ( bool  modified )

inline

Update the configuration modification flag.

This is intended for configuration editors (or any code which updates configuration values directly) to keep track of the state of potential changes. If this flag is set, a new experiment variation will be created when the experiment starts
