Inheritance diagram for cgv::reflect::abst_reflection_traits:

Public Member Functions
virtual	~abst_reflection_traits ()
	provide virtual destructor to allow generation of copies

virtual abst_reflection_traits *	clone ()=0
	clone function

basic type interface
virtual unsigned	size () const =0
	return the size of the type

virtual void *	new_instance () const =0
	construct an instance on the heap with the new operator

virtual void	delete_instance (void *) const =0
	delete an instance with the delete operator

virtual void *	new_instances (unsigned n) const =0
	construct n instances on the heap with the new operator

virtual void	delete_instances (void *) const =0
	delete instances with the delete [] operator

virtual cgv::type::info::TypeId	get_type_id () const =0
	return the type id

virtual const char *	get_type_name () const =0
	return the type name

self reflection through external implementation
static const bool	has_external = false
	compile information about external implementation

virtual bool	has_external_implementation () const
	whether type can be converted to string, defaults to false

virtual bool	external_implementation (reflection_handler &rh, void *member_ptr)
	call the external implementation

self reflection through string conversions
static const bool	has_string = false
	compile information about string conversions

virtual bool	has_string_conversions () const
	whether type can be converted to string, defaults to false

virtual bool	set_from_string (void *instance_ptr, const std::string &str_val)
	convert a given string value to the reflected type and store in the instance pointer

virtual void	get_to_string (const void *instance_ptr, std::string &str_val)
	convert given instance into a string value

additional enum interface
static const bool	has_enum = false
	compile information about enum interface

virtual bool	is_enum_type () const
	return whether type is an enum type - this is independent of whether enum interface is implemented

virtual bool	has_enum_interface () const
	return whether the traits class implements the enum interface

virtual unsigned	get_nr_enum_items () const
	return the number of enum items

virtual std::string	get_enum_name (unsigned i) const
	return the name of the i-th enum item

virtual int	get_enum_value (unsigned i) const
	return the value of the i-th enum item
