16 /*! @brief A collection class designed to use CollectionAction objects.
17 *
18 * The SmartCollection class is designed to handle CollectionAction objects. It
19 * holds a vector of these objects and takes care of calling Setup and Finalize for
20 * each of them at the beginning and at the end of the analysis, respectively.
21 * Actions can be added to the SmartCollection by means of the AddAction() method.
22 * If a bunch of cuts have been already added to the collection, the action will
23 * be logically placed after the cuts. The SmartCollection will call
24 * CollectionAction::OnGood() if the cuts preceding the actions are satisfied, and
25 * CollectionAction::OnBad() if at least one of them fails. An action will not be
26 * sensitive to cuts added to the collection after the action itself.
27 * The resulting structure is composed by bunches of cuts intertwined by actions,
28 * which are "executed" depending on the result of the bunch of cuts that precedes the
29 * action. Note that CollectionAction::OnBad() is called only for those actions at
30 * the end of the bunch where the first failed cut is: if after these actions there
31 * are other bunches of cuts and actions, they will be ignored.
32 * For example, in the sequence below:
33 *
34 * | cut1 | cut2 | action1 | action2 | cut3 | cut4 | action3 | ...
35 *
36 * action1 and action2 are executed (eg., OnGood is called for them) if cut1 and cut2
37 * are both satisfied, then cut3 and cut4 are evaluated and if both of them are satisfied
38 * then action3 is executed. If, for example, cut 1 or cut2 fail, then OnBad is called for
39 * action1 and action2; however, cut3, cut4, action3 and all that follows are ignored. The
40 * analysis goes on with the next event.
