.PP 
\fBObserver\fP Design Pattern, Subject part\&. 

\fBObservable\fP is the implementation of the \fIsubject\fP part of the \fBObserver\fP design pattern\&. For the time beeing it's a simplificated version that allows only one \fBObserver\fP to watch the subject\&.
.PP
\fBObservable\fP is designed to be an attribute of the subject, not one of it's base class\&.
.PP
This implantation is completly generic and has nothing specific to \fBKatabatic\fP\&. It may be moved sometimes in Hurricane at Property level in \fBHurricane::DBo\fP\&.
.PP
\fBNote to Myself:\fP \fBObserver\fP pattern is the one behind signal/slots\&.

.SS "\fBObservable\fP ()\fC [inline]\fP"
Default and only constructor\&. The copy constructor is disabled (made private and unimplemented)\&. 
.SH "Member Function Documentation"
.PP 
.SS "T * getObserver ()\fC [inline]\fP"
\fBReturns:\fP The (only) observer, \fCNULL\fP if there is none\&. It is the object of which the \fBObserver\fP is an attribute, that is, it's \fIowner\fP, and not the \fBObserver\fP itself which is returned\&. 
.SS "void addObserver (\fBBaseObserver\fP * observer)\fC [inline]\fP"
Adds an observer\&. If more than one is added, throw an error\&. 
.SS "void removeObserver (\fBBaseObserver\fP * observer)\fC [inline]\fP"
Removes an observer\&. If the observer do not belong to this observable, throw an exception\&. 
.SS "void notify (unsigned int flags)\fC [inline]\fP"
Used by the subject to signal a change in it's state to the observers\&. The \fCflags\fP parameter can be used to indicates what kind of change is occuring\&. Values for \fCflags\fP are defined between the subject and the observers\&.
