class TTableDescriptor: public TTable

return column descriptor

set table descriptor

set comments name

 The custom Streamer for this table

to be documented

 Create a descriptor of the C-structure defined by TClass
 TClass *classPtr must be a valid pointer to TClass object for
 "plain" C_struture only !!!

 class destructor

 Append one row pointed by "c" to the descriptor

Add one row pointed by "c" to the "i"-th row of the descriptor

 Add one dataset to the descriptor.
 There is no new implementation here.
 One needs it to avoid the "hidden method" compilation warning

 Add the descriptor element followed by its commentText
 at the indx-th position of the descriptor (counted from zero)

 Create a list of leaf to be useful for TBranch::TBranch ctor

 Create a descriptor of the C-structure defined by TClass
 TClass *classPtr must be a valid pointer to TClass object for
 "plain" C_structure only !!!

to be documented

  LearnTable() creates an array of the descriptors for elements of the row

 It creates a descriptor of the C-structure defined by TClass
 TClass *classPtr must be a valid pointer to TClass object for
 "plain" C-structure only !!!

  This is to introduce an artificial restriction demanded by STAR database group

    1. the name may be 31 symbols at most
    2. the number the dimension is 3 at most

  To lift this restriction one has to provide -DNORESTRICTIONS CPP symbol and
  recompile code (and debug code NOW!)

 MakeDescriptor(const char *structName) - static method
                structName - the name of the C structure
                             to create descriptor of
 return a new instance of the TTableDescriptor or 0
 if the "structName is not present with the dictionary

 Instantiate a comment dataset if any

                  "Schema evolution"
 Method updates the offsets with a new ones from another descriptor

 Find the column index but the column name

 Return offset of the column defined by "columnName"
 Take in account index if provided
 Can not handle multidimensional indeces yet.
