## Description

An InfAdoptedRequest is basically an InfAdoptedOperation with some metadata used by InfAdoptedAlgorithm to determine which operations to transform against each other. If the type of the request is `INF_ADOPTED_REQUEST_DO`, then it contains the operation to perform, otherwise it does not because the request does not know the operation, it is computed by InfAdoptedAlgorithm when required. A InfAdoptedRequest also contains the state in which the operation can be applied to the buffer and the user ID of the InfAdoptedUser having generated the request.

## Functions

### inf_adopted_request_new_do ()

    InfAdoptedRequest *
    inf_adopted_request_new_do (InfAdoptedStateVector *vector,
                                guint user_id,
                                InfAdoptedOperation *operation,
                                gint64 received);

Creates a new InfAdoptedRequest with type `INF_ADOPTED_REQUEST_DO`.

[constructor]

#### Parameters

vector | The vector time at which the request was made. |
user_id | The ID of the user that made the request. |
operation | The operation the user performed. |

Returns whether transforming `request` against `against` requires a concurrency ID. If this function returns `TRUE`, you must provide the `request_lcs` and `against_lcs` parameters when calling `inf_adopted_request_transform()`.

Both request need to be of type `INF_ADOPTED_REQUEST_DO`, and their state vectors must be the same.

Whether transformation of `request` against `against` requires a concurrency ID.

against | The request to transform against. |
request_lcs | The request to transform in a previous state, or `NULL`. |
against_lcs | The request to transform against in a previous state, or `NULL`. |

    inf_adopted_request_mirror (InfAdoptedRequest *request,
                                guint by);

Mirrors `request` as described in "Reducing the Problems of Group Undo" by Matthias Ressel and Rul Gunzenhäuser (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=320297.320312).

Note that `by` is the total amount of requests between the original and mirrored request, and thus equivalent to 2j-1 in the paper's definition.

`request` must be of type `INF_ADOPTED_REQUEST_DO` and its operation must be reversible.

#### Parameters

request | A InfAdoptedRequest. |
by | The number of requests between the original and the mirrored operation. |

#### Returns

The mirrored request as a new InfAdoptedRequest.

Folds `request` as described in "Reducing the Problems of Group Undo" by Matthias Ressel and Rul Gunzenhäuser (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=320297.320312).

Note that `by` is the total amount of requests between the original and the fold request, and thus equivalent to 2j in the paper's definition.

`into` must not be the same user as the one that issued `request` .

#### Parameters

request | A InfAdoptedRequest. |
into | The direction into which to fold. |
by | The number of operations between the original and the fold request. |

### inf_adopted_request_affects_buffer ()

    gboolean
    inf_adopted_request_affects_buffer (InfAdoptedRequest *request);

Returns whether this request, when applied, changes the content of the buffer. If this is a `INF_ADOPTED_REQUEST_UNDO` or `INF_ADOPTED_REQUEST_REDO` request, than it always affects the buffer, because only requests that affect the buffer can be undone or redone. If it is a `INF_ADOPTED_REQUEST_DO` request, than it returns whether its operation has the `INF_ADOPTED_OPERATION_AFFECTS_BUFFER` flag set.

#### Parameters

request | A InfAdoptedRequest. |

#### Returns

Whether `request` affects the session's buffer.

## Types and Values

### enum InfAdoptedRequestType
