Inheritance diagram for Member:

[legend]

Detailed Description

Member is the root interface of the reflection hierarchy. A Member may be

a Container, which is either
- a Package
- or a Class
or a Function

All members except the global package have an enclosing container as their parent. For example, the method StringInterface::GetLength() has the class StringInterface as enclosing container, which has the maxon package as enclosing container, which has the global package as enclosing container.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ KIND

enum KIND

strong

This enum defines the possible kinds of a Member. Exactly one of the flags is set in the value returned by GetKind().

Enumerator
PACKAGE	The member is a Package.
CLASS	The member is a Class.
FUNCTION	The member is a Function (either at package scope, or a static class member).
INSTANCE_FUNCTION	The member is a non-const instance function (i.e., non-static class member).
CONST_INSTANCE_FUNCTION	The member is a const instance function (i.e., non-static class member).
CONTAINER_TEST
FUNCTION_TEST

Member Function Documentation

◆ MAXON_INTERFACE_NONVIRTUAL()

MAXON_INTERFACE_NONVIRTUAL	(	Member	,
		MAXON_REFERENCE_NONE	,
		"net.maxon.reflection.interface.member"
	)

private

◆ MAXON_ENUM_FLAGS_CLASS()

enum maxon::reflection::Member::KIND MAXON_ENUM_FLAGS_CLASS ( KIND )

◆ GetEnclosingContainer()

const MAXON_METHOD Container* GetEnclosingContainer ( ) const

Returns the enclosing container of this member. All members except the global package have such an enclosing container: Functions and classes are nested in classes or packages, packages are nested in other packages.

Returns: The enclosing container of this member, or nullptr if this is the global package.

◆ GetKind()

MAXON_METHOD KIND GetKind ( ) const

Returns the kind of this member. This allows to tell whether this Member can be safely cast to a Package, Class or Function. The returned value has exactly one of the KIND flags set.

Returns: Kind of this member.

◆ GetSimpleName()

const MAXON_METHOD Id& GetSimpleName ( ) const

Returns the (unqualified) name of this member. E.g., for maxon::StringInterface::GetLength this is "GetLength".

Returns: Name of this member.

◆ GetId()

const MAXON_METHOD Id& GetId ( ) const

Returns a unique id for this member. This is the qualified name of the member (with dot as separator), plus optionally an additional code for disambiguation, separated by "@". For functions, a hashcode which depends on the parameter and return types is used to disambiguate between overloads (such as "net.maxon.asin@919429e0").

The function Find() allows to find a Member for the id.

Returns: Unique id for this member.

◆ ToString()

MAXON_METHOD String ToString ( const FormatStatement * fs = nullptr ) const

Returns a readable string of the content.

Parameters

[in] fs Nullptr or additional formatting instruction. Currently no additional formatting instructions are supported.

Returns: The converted result.

◆ GetMembers()

static MAXON_METHOD Result<Bool> GetMembers ( const ValueReceiver< const Member & > & members )

static

Yields all registered members.

◆ Find()

static const MAXON_METHOD Member* Find ( const Id & memberId )
