Member Function Documentation

asClass()

const AbstractClass & asClass ( void  ) const

virtual

Get the class description corresponding to this type. If the type is not a class, an assertion failure is raised.

Returns

Corresponding class instance.

Reimplemented in AbstractClass.

References Type::name().

asEnum()

const Enumerable & asEnum ( void  ) const

virtual

Get the enumeration description corresponding to this type. If the type is not enumerated, an assertion failure is raised.

Returns

Corresponding class instance.

Reimplemented in Enum.

References Type::name().

Referenced by TextSerializer::onEnum(), XOMElementSerializer::onEnum(), and XOMUnserializer::onEnum().

asInstance()

const InstanceType * asInstance ( void  ) const

virtual

Get the template instance interface for this type. If this type is not a template instance, return null.

Returns

Instance interface or null.

Reimplemented in InstanceClass.

asParam()

const ParamType * asParam ( void  ) const

virtual

Get the parameter interface for this type. Return null if the type is not a parameter.

Returns

Parameter interface or null.

Referenced by InstanceType::typeFor().

asPtr()

const PointerType & asPtr ( void  ) const

virtual

Get the class description corresponding to this type. If the type is not a pointer, an assertion failure is raised.

Returns

Corresponding pointer instance.

Reimplemented in PointerType.

References Type::name().

Referenced by elm::rtti::operator<<().

asSerial()

const Serializable & asSerial ( void  ) const

virtual

Return the serializable instance of this type.

Warning

Will raise assertion failure if the type is not serializable.

Returns

Serializable instance.

Reimplemented in CStringType, StringType, BoolType, FloatType< T >, IntType< T >, and AbstractClass.

References Type::name().

asTemplate()

const TemplateType * asTemplate ( void  ) const

virtual

Get the template interface for this type. If the type is not a template, return a null pointer.

Returns

Template interface or null.

Reimplemented in TemplateClass.

canCast()

bool canCast ( const Type *  t ) const

virtual

Test if the type can be casted to the given type.

Parameters

t	Type to cast to.

Returns

True if the type can be casted to the given type, false else.
