Detailed Description

This is the central class of the reflection system. A Type object describes the structure of arbitrary objects. Theses types can be subdivided into the following kinds:

• The void type, which is the type anything that has not type.
• Several fundamental types representing the C++ builtin types.
• Pointer types, ... pointers!
• Array types representing C/C++ arrays with fixed length.
• Class types representing any structured type.
• Function Types representing C/C++ functions (including member functions).

See also:

FundamentalType, PointerType, ArrayType, ClassType, FunctionType.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum rfl::Type::Id

This enum type should be used to quickly distinguish the different types that can be reflected. In contrast to getTypeId() the Id is always provided by Type objects. See also: rfl::Type::getTypeId() Enumeration values: ID_VOID  ID_BOOL  ID_CHAR  ID_UCHAR  ID_SHORT  ID_USHORT  ID_INT  ID_UINT  ID_LONG  ID_ULONG  ID_FLOAT  ID_DOUBLE  ID_FUNDAMENTAL_END  Use this to detect fundamental types, e.g.: t.getid() < rfl::Type::ID_FUNDAMENTAL_END ID_PTR  ID_ARRAY  ID_CLASS  ID_FUNCTION

virtual void* rfl::Type::getElmAddr (  void *  obj, std::size_t  idx )  const [pure virtual]

Implemented in rfl::ArrayType, rfl::CFunctionType, rfl::ClassType, rfl::FundamentalType, and rfl::PointerType.

std::size_t rfl::Type::getElmNo (  void   )  const [inline]

virtual const Type& rfl::Type::getElmType (  std::size_t  idx  )  const [pure virtual]

Implemented in rfl::ArrayType, rfl::CFunctionType, rfl::ClassType, rfl::FundamentalType, and rfl::PointerType.

Id rfl::Type::getId (  void   )  const [inline]

Retuns the id of the represented Type. See also: rfl::Type::Id

const mpu::String& rfl::Type::getName (  void   )  const [inline]

std::size_t rfl::Type::getSize (  void   )  const [inline]

const std::type_info* rfl::Type::getTypeId (  void   )  [inline]

The reflection library knows compiled types and dynamic types. For compiled types there is real compiled C++ code available. If this object represents a compiled type T, you'll get a pointer to the typeid(T). If it's a dynamic type, you'll get a NULL pointer.

virtual unsigned long rfl::Type::hash (  void   )  const [pure virtual]

This is a little helper to identify types with equal structure Implemented in rfl::ArrayType, rfl::ClassType, rfl::FunctionType, and rfl::PointerType.

void* rfl::Type::newObj (  const void *  obj  )  const

void* rfl::Type::newObj (  void   )  const

bool rfl::Type::operator!= (  const Type &  type  )  const [inline]

virtual bool rfl::Type::operator== (  const Type &  type  )  const [pure virtual]

Implemented in rfl::ArrayType, rfl::ClassType, rfl::FunctionType, and rfl::PointerType.

void rfl::Type::updateHash (  unsigned long &  h, unsigned long  id )  [inline, static, protected]
