Detailed Description#

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

enum TypeInformation#

Type information.

enum SBCMetaType::TypeInformation {
    IsEnumType = SBCMetaIsEnumType<T>::True,
    IsClassType = SBCMetaIsClassType<T>::True,
    IsFundamentalType = SBCMetaIsFundamentalType<T>::True,
    IsRegisteredType = SBCMetaIsRegisteredType<T>::True,
    IsConstType = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::IsConstType,
    IsVolatileType = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::IsVolatileType,
    IsReferenceType = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::IsReferenceType,

    IsPointerType = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::IsPointerType,
    IsPointerToMemberType = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::IsPointerToMemberType,
    IsFunctionType = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::IsFunctionType,
    IsPointerToFunctionType = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::IsPointerToFunctionType,
    IsPointerToMemberFunctionType = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::IsPointerToMemberFunctionType,
    HasBaseType = SBCMetaBaseType<T>::HasBaseType,
    NumberOfParameters = SBCMetaDecomposeType<T>::NumberOfParameters
};

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

Public Static Functions Documentation#

function getBaseTypeName#

Returns the base type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getBaseTypeName ()

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

function getClassTypeName#

Returns the class type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getClassTypeName ()

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".

function getOutputTypeName#

Returns the output type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getOutputTypeName ()

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*".

function getParameterTypeName#

Returns the type name of parameter i .

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getParameterTypeName (
    unsigned int i
)

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*".

function getParentTypeName#

Returns the parent type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getParentTypeName ()

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

function getRootTypeName#

Returns the root type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getRootTypeName ()

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".

function getShortBaseTypeName#

Returns the short base type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getShortBaseTypeName ()

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

function getShortClassTypeName#

Returns the short class type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getShortClassTypeName ()

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".

function getShortOutputTypeName#

Returns the short output type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getShortOutputTypeName ()

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*".

function getShortParameterTypeName#

Returns the short type name of parameter i .

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getShortParameterTypeName (
    unsigned int i
)

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*".

function getShortParentTypeName#

Returns the short parent type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getShortParentTypeName ()

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

function getShortRootTypeName#

Returns the short root type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getShortRootTypeName ()

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

function getShortTypeName#

Returns the short type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getShortTypeName ()

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*").

function getTypeName#

Returns the type name.

static inline std::string SBCMetaType::getTypeName ()

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*").

function getTypeUUID#

Returns the UUID of the type.

static inline SBCContainerUUID SBCMetaType::getTypeUUID ()

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