Metafunction
SAValue
The default alphabet type of a suffix array, i.e. the type to store a position of a string or string set.
SAValue<TObject>::Type
Parameters
TObject
A string, string set, or index type.
Return Values
A type to store a position.
If TObject is a String, it is a single integer value. By default this is the Size type of TObject.
If TObject is a StringSet, it could be a single integer too (called global position, see ConcatDirect) or a Pair (called local position, see Owner). Currently SeqAn defaults to a local position for StringSet classes (index_base.h):
template < typename TString, typename TSpec >
struct SAValue< StringSet<TString, TSpec> > {
    typedef Pair<
        typename Size< StringSet<TString, TSpec> >::Type,
        typename SAValue<TString>::Type,
        Compressed
    > Type;
};
