## Detailed Description

This class contains the data pertaining to a particular subtree in the search tree.

In order to improve scalability, we will try to deal with entire subtrees as much as possible. They will be the basic unit of work that will be passed between processes.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AlpsSubTree::AlpsSubTree | ( |  | ) |

## Member Function Documentation

void AlpsSubTree::removeDeadNodes | ( | AlpsTreeNode *& | node | ) | `[protected]`

The purpose of this method is to remove nodes that are not needed in the description of the subtree.

The argument node must have status `fathomed`. First, the argument node is removed, and then the parent is examined to determine whether it has any children left. If it has none, then this function is called recursively on the parent. This removes all nodes that are no longer needed.

void AlpsSubTree::replaceNode | ( | AlpsTreeNode * | oldNode,
|  | AlpsTreeNode * | newNode |
| ) |  |  | `[protected]`

This function replaces `oldNode` with `newNode` in the tree.
