Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class SBCMetaType< T >

Parameters

T	The type about which information is sought

This template class provides information about a type T, through enumerated values and static functions, including for example:

// isConstType = true
bool isConstType = SBType<const double>::IsConstType; 
// typeName = "const std::string&";
std::string typeName = SBType<const std::string&>::getTypeName(); 
// parentTypeName = "std::string";
std::string parentTypeName = SBType<const std::string>::getParentTypeName(); 
// rootTypeName = "std::string";
std::string rootTypeName = SBType<const std::string**>::getRootTypeName(); 
// shortName = "SBAtom";
std::string shortName = SBType<SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom>::getShortTypeName(); 

Short name: SBType

◆ TypeInformation

template<typename T >

enum SBCMetaType::TypeInformation

This enumerated type returns information about the type T. Besides NumberOfParameters, each enumerated value is equal to either 1 or 0.

Enumerator
IsEnumType	IsEnumType is equal to 1 if `T` is an enum.
IsClassType	IsClassType is equal to 1 if `T` is a class.
IsFundamentalType	IsFundamentalType is equal to 1 if `T` is fundamental (void, bool, char, signed char, unsigned char, wchar_t, short, unsigned short, int, unsigned int, long, unsigned long, float, double or long double).
IsRegisteredType	IsRegisteredType is equal to 1 if `T` is a registered type.
IsConstType	IsConstType is equal to 1 if `T` is const.
IsVolatileType	IsVolatileType is equal to 1 if `T` is volatile.
IsReferenceType	IsReferenceType is equal to 1 if `T` is a reference.
IsArrayType	IsArrayType is equal to 1 if `T` is an array.
IsPointerType	IsPointerType is equal to 1 if `T` is a pointer.
IsPointerToMemberType	IsPointerToMemberType is equal to 1 if `T` is a pointer to a member.
IsFunctionType	IsFunctionType is equal to 1 if `T` is a function.
IsPointerToFunctionType	IsPointerToFunctionType is equal to 1 if `T` is a function pointer.
IsPointerToMemberFunctionType	IsPointerToMemberFunctionType is equal to 1 if `T` is a pointer to a member function.
HasBaseType	HasBaseType is equal to 1 if `T` has a base type.
NumberOfParameters	When `T` is a function, NumberOfParameters is equal to the number of its parameters.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getBaseTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getBaseTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the type name of the base type of T. For example, the base type name of SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom is "SBMStructuralModelNodeParticle".

◆ getClassTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getClassTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the type name of the class associated to T, when T is a pointer to a member or a pointer to a member function ("void" otherwise). For example, the class type name of &SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom::clearName is "SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom".

◆ getOutputTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getOutputTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the type name of the output type of T, when T is a function. For example, the output type name of SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom* getFirstAtom() is "SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom*".

◆ getParameterTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getParameterTypeName ( unsigned int i )

inlinestatic

This function returns the type name of parameter i of type T, when T is a function ("void" otherwise). For example, the type name of parameter 2 of myFunction(int, double, const SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom*) is "const SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom*".

◆ getParentTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getParentTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the type name of the parent type of T. For example, the parent type name of int* is "int".

◆ getRootTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getRootTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the type name of the root type of T. For example, the root type name of const std::string& is "std::string".

◆ getShortBaseTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getShortBaseTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the short type name of the base type of T. For example, the short base type name of SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom is "SBStructuralParticle".

◆ getShortClassTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getShortClassTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the short type name of the class associated to T, when T is a pointer to a member or a pointer to a member function ("void" otherwise). For example, the short class type name of &SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom::clearName is "SBAtom".

◆ getShortOutputTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getShortOutputTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the short type name of the output type of T, when T is a function. For example, the short output type name of SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom* getFirstAtom() is "SBAtom*".

◆ getShortParameterTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getShortParameterTypeName ( unsigned int i )

inlinestatic

This function returns the short type name of parameter i of type T, when T is a function ("void" otherwise). For example, the short type name of parameter 2 of myFunction(int, double, const SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom*) is "const SBAtom*".

◆ getShortParentTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getShortParentTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the short type name of the parent type of T. For example, the short parent type name of SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom* is "SBAtom".

◆ getShortRootTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getShortRootTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

This function returns the type name of the root type of T. For example, the short root type name of const SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom& is "SBAtom".

◆ getShortTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getShortTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

When the type T is fundamental, this function returns a string containing the fundamental type (e.g. "unsigned int"). When T is registered, this function returns its short type name. Else, this function recursively decomposes the type in order to provide a string describing it, but using short names (e.g. "const SBAtom*").

◆ getTypeName()

template<typename T >

static std::string SBCMetaType< T >::getTypeName ( )

inlinestatic

When the type T is fundamental, this function returns a string containing the fundamental type (e.g. "unsigned int"). When T is registered, this function returns its type name. Else, this function recursively decomposes the type in order to provide a string describing it (e.g. "const SBMStructuralModelNodeAtom*").

◆ getTypeUUID()

template<typename T >

static SBCContainerUUID SBCMetaType< T >::getTypeUUID ( )

inlinestatic

If the type is registered, this function returns the associated UUID. Else, the function returns an invalid UUID.
