Detailed Description

The representation of a type in the Meta repository.

Definition at line 221 of file meta_type.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MetaType()

OGF::MetaType::MetaType ( const std::string & name )

explicit

MetaType constructor.

Parameters

[in] name C++ name of the type

Member Function Documentation

◆ life_cycle()

LifeCycle* OGF::MetaType::life_cycle ( ) const

inline

Gets the LifeCycle associated with the type.

Returns: a pointer to the LifeCycle or nil if none is available

Definition at line 267 of file meta_type.h.

◆ name()

const std::string& OGF::MetaType::name ( ) const

inline

Gets the C++ name of the type.

Returns: the C++ name of the type (as in C++ sources, with OGF:: scope)

Definition at line 241 of file meta_type.h.

◆ pre_delete()

virtual void OGF::MetaType::pre_delete ( )

virtual

Removes all variables that use the meta type system before deleting.

If we do not do that, when deleting the meta type system, we can delete the meta information in the wrong order, and delete first meta classes that we needed to delete other ones.

Reimplemented in OGF::MetaClass.

◆ serializer()

Serializer* OGF::MetaType::serializer ( ) const

inline

Gets the serializer associated with the type.

Returns: a pointer to the Serializer or nil if none is available

Definition at line 286 of file meta_type.h.

◆ set_life_cycle()

void OGF::MetaType::set_life_cycle ( LifeCycle * life_cycle )

inline

Sets the LifeCycle associated with the type.

Parameters

[in] life_cycle a pointer to the LifeCycle. Ownership is transfered to this MetaType.

Definition at line 276 of file meta_type.h.

◆ set_serializer()

void OGF::MetaType::set_serializer ( Serializer * ser )

inline

Sets the serializer associated with the type.

Parameters

[in] ser a pointer to the serializer. Ownership is transfered to this MetaType.

Definition at line 295 of file meta_type.h.

◆ set_typeid_name()

void OGF::MetaType::set_typeid_name ( const std::string & typeid_name )

inline

Sets the typeid name.

Parameters

[in] typeid_name the typeid name, as obtained by typeid(T).name()

Definition at line 250 of file meta_type.h.

◆ typeid_name()

const std::string& OGF::MetaType::typeid_name ( ) const

inline

Gets the typeid name.

Returns: the typeid name, as obtained by typeid(T).name()

Definition at line 258 of file meta_type.h.
