Public Member Functions

• void addInterface (const RefPtr< InterfaceBase > &I)

  Add an interface class object.
  

• void clearInterfaces ()

  Remove all interfaces.
  

• bool const_iterateInterfaces (const RefPtr< InterfaceIterationParameter > &IIP) const

  Constant iterator.
  

• virtual RefPtr< InterfaceBase > createInterface (const type_info &t) const

  Virtual function which allows derived objects to create Interface objects on demand.
  

• RefPtr< InterfaceBase > findInterface (const type_info &t) const

  Find a certain interface of specified type.
  

• RefPtr< InterfaceBase > getInterface (const type_info &t)

  Retrieve an interface object from a certain type.
  

• bool hasInterface (const RefPtr< InterfaceBase > &I)
• bool hasInterface (const type_info &t) const

  Check if some Interface might exist.
  

• Intercube ()

  Constructor.
  

• int iterateInterfaces (IntercubeIterator &II) const
• bool iterateInterfaces (const RefPtr< InterfaceIterationParameter > &IIP)

  Modifyable iterator.
  

• void printInterfaces () const

  Debug function that prints the names of all interfaces.
  

• void registerInterface (const type_info &t)

  Register an interface type; when the interface is actually required, the virtual createInterface() function will be called.
  

• void removeInterface (const type_info &t)

  Remove an interface.
  

• virtual ~Intercube ()

  Destructor.

Detailed Description

A container that holds many Interfaces.

An interface is an object that is associated with a certain "domain type". Many interface classes may exist for the same domain type, but only one interface object may exist per container. The domain type itself is a dummy type which is never instantiated, it is used only to group certain interface classes into a common hierarchy.

Its name stems from the observation that a cube has multiple faces, so an Intercube must have multiple Interfaces as well.

RefPtr<InterfaceBase> Intercube::findInterface

(

const type_info &

t

)

const

Find a certain interface of specified type.

Parameters:

t

The interface type to be queried.

RefPtr<InterfaceBase> Intercube::getInterface

(

const type_info &

t

)

Retrieve an interface object from a certain type.

Might create the interface on demand.

bool Intercube::hasInterface

(

const type_info &

t

)

const

Check if some Interface might exist.

Does not create the interface if it does not exist.
