Detailed Description

Provides a platform independent type name and a (very primitive) kind of reflection in combination with object.

The platform independent name is equal to the "in-sourcecode-name" with a few exceptions:

std::string is named @str
std::u16string is named @u16str
std::u32string is named @u32str
integers are named `@(i|u)$size
e.g.: @i32 is a 32 bit signed integer; @u16 is a 16 bit unsigned integer
the anonymous namespace is named @_
e.g.: `namespace { class foo { }; } is mapped to @_::foo

virtual void caf::uniform_type_info::deserialize	(	void *	instance,
		deserializer *	source
	)		const

pure virtual

Deserializes instance from source.

Parameters

instance	Instance of this type.
source	Data source.

Precondition: instance has the type of this.

virtual bool caf::uniform_type_info::equal_to ( const std::type_info & tinfo ) const

pure virtual

Determines if this uniform_type_info describes the same type than tinfo.

Returns: true if tinfo describes the same type as this.

Implemented in caf::abstract_uniform_type_info< T >.

virtual bool caf::uniform_type_info::equals	(	const void *	instance1,
		const void *	instance2
	)		const

pure virtual

Compares two instances of this type.

Parameters

instance1	Left hand operand.
instance2	Right hand operand.

Returns: true if *instance1 == *instance2. @preinstance1andinstance2have the type ofthis`.

Implemented in caf::abstract_uniform_type_info< T >.

static const uniform_type_info* caf::uniform_type_info::from ( const std::string & uniform_name )

static

Get instance by uniform name.

Parameters

uniform_name The internal name for a type.

Returns: The instance associated to uniform_name.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if no type named uniform_name was found.

static const uniform_type_info* caf::uniform_type_info::from ( const std::type_info & tinfo )

static

Get instance by std::type_info.

Parameters

tinfo A STL RTTI object.

Returns: An instance describing the same type as tinfo.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if tinfo is not an announced type.

static std::vector<const uniform_type_info*> caf::uniform_type_info::instances ( )

static

Get all instances.

Returns: A vector with all known (announced) instances.

virtual const char* caf::uniform_type_info::name ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the internal name for this type.

Returns: A string describing the internal type name.

Implemented in caf::abstract_uniform_type_info< T >.

virtual void caf::uniform_type_info::serialize	(	const void *	instance,
		serializer *	sink
	)		const

pure virtual

Serializes instance to sink.

Parameters

instance	Instance of this type.
sink	Target data sink.

Precondition: instance has the type of this.

Exceptions

std::ios_base::failure Thrown when the underlying serialization layer is unable to serialize the data, e.g., when exceeding maximum buffer sizes.
