/** @class Converter

@brief A compiler for the DIM data format string

The Converter class interprets arguments in a string accoring to the
given format definition and produces a corresponding memory block from it
which can be attached to an event later.

The format is given according to the Dim format description:

  The format parameter specifies the contents of the structure in the
  form T:N[;T:N]*[;T] where T is the item type: (I)nteger, (C)haracter,
  (L)ong, (S)hort, (F)loat, (D)ouble, X(tra long==long long) and N is the
  number of such items. The type alone at the end means all following items
  are of the same type. Example: "I:3;F:2;C" means 3 Integers, 2 Floats and
  Characters until the end. The format parameter is used for
  communicating between different platforms.

For example:

\code
   Converter c(cout, "I:1;F:2;I:2", );
   vector<char> v = c.GetVector("COMMAND 1 2.5 4.2 3 4");
\endcode

would produce a 20 byte data block with the integers 1, the floats
2.5 and 4.2, and the intergers 3 and 4, in this order.

The opposite direction is also possible

\code
   Converter c(cout, "I:1;F:2;I:2");
   cout << c.GetString(pointer, size) << endl;
 \endcode

Other conversion functions also exist.

To check if the compilation of the format string was successfull
the valid() member functio is provided.

The format parameter \b W(ord) is dedicated to this kind of conversion and
not understood by Dim. In addition there are \b O(ptions) which are like
Words but can be omitted. They should only be used at the end of the string.
\b B(ool) is also special. It evaluates true/false, yes/no, on/off, 1/0.

The non-DIM like format options can be switched on and off by using the
strict argument in the constructor.

@remark Note that all values are interpreted as signed, except the single
char (e.g. C:5)
