Member Function Documentation

Range<MetaContainer> puddle::MetaClass::all_containers

(

void

)

const

Returns the meta-data describing all element containers.

Meta-function returning a range of MetaContainers which are reflecting the element containers of the reflected class, including the inheited ones.

Range<MetaMemberVariable> puddle::MetaClass::all_member_variables

(

void

)

const

Returns the meta-data describing all member variables.

Meta-function returning a range of MetaMemberVariable(s) which are reflecting the member variables of the reflected class including those inherited from base classes.

Range<MetaInheritance> puddle::MetaClass::base_classes

(

void

)

const

Returns the meta-data describing inheritance of base classes.

Function returning a range of MetaInheritance(s) which are reflecting the inheritance of the base classes

std::string puddle::MetaNamedObject::base_name

(

void

)

const [inherited]

Returns the base name of the reflected entity.

This function returns the base name of the reflected construct (type, class, namespace, member variable, etc.) without the nested name specifier.

mirror::meta_class_tag puddle::MetaClass::category

(

void

)

const

See also:

mirror::categorize_meta_object

mirror::meta_object_category

Reimplemented from puddle::MetaScope.

Reimplemented in puddle::MetaTemplatedClass.

Range<MetaConstructor> puddle::MetaType::constructors

(

void

)

const [inherited]

Returns meta-data describing the type's constructors.

This function returns a range of MetaConstructor (s) which are reflecting the constructors of the reflected type

See also:

Range

ContainerKind puddle::MetaType::container_kind

(

void

)

const [inherited]

Returns the container kind tag.

Tag specifying the container kind of the reflected type.

Range<MetaContainer> puddle::MetaType::containers

(

void

)

const [inherited]

Returns the meta-data describing element containers.

Meta-function returning a range of MetaContainers which are reflecting the element containers of the reflected type

Specifier puddle::MetaClass::elaborated_type

(

void

)

const

Returns the elaborated type specifier.

Specifier reflecting the elaborate type specifier (class | struct | union) that was specified during definition (and registering) of the class reflected by this meta_class.

std::string puddle::MetaNamedScopedObject::full_name

(

void

)

const [inherited]

Returns the full name of the reflected entity.

This function returns the full name of the reflected construct (type, class, namespace, member variable, etc.) including the nested name specifier.

template<typename Category >

Boolean puddle::MetaObject::is_a

(

Category

)

const [inherited]

Returns true if the meta-object is of the specified Category.

Template Parameters:

Category

a meta-object category tag type

mirror::meta_object_tag

mirror::categorize_meta_object

mirror::meta_object_category

std::string puddle::MetaNamedScopedObject::local_name

(

void

)

const [inherited]

Returns the local name of the reflected entity.

This function returns the local name of the reflected construct (type, class, namespace, member variable, etc.) including the partial or full nested name specifier, based on whether the parent scope or one of its enclosing scopes of the construct reflected by this MetaNamedScopedObject is used with the PUDDLE_USING_NAMESPACE macro.

PUDDLE_USING_NAMESPACE

Range<MetaMemberVariable> puddle::MetaClass::member_variables

(

void

)

const

Returns the meta-data describing member variables.

Function returning a range of MetaMemberVariable(s) which are reflecting the member variables of the reflected class not including those inherited from base classes.

unspecified puddle::MetaClass::member_variables_by_name

(

void

)

const

Returns a type allowing to access variable meta-data by identifier.

Returns a type which provides member functors having the same names as the member variables in the reflected class. Invoking these nullary functors returns MetaMemberVariable reflecting the individual member variables.

unspecified* puddle::MetaClass::operator->

(

void

)

const

Returns a type allowing to access variable meta-data by identifier.

See also:

member_variables_by_name()

static unspecified puddle::MetaType::original_type

(

void

)

[static, inherited]

Function returning the base-level type reflected by this MetaType.

Use decltype to get the type

MetaScope puddle::MetaScopedObject::scope

(

void

)

const [inherited]

Returns a meta-object reflecting the scope of the scoped object.

The resulting type conforms to the MetaScope concept and provides meta-data about the scope which encloses the construct reflected by this MetaScopedObject.

MetaScope

Reimplemented in puddle::MetaClassMember, puddle::MetaEnumValue, puddle::MetaFreeVariable, and puddle::MetaContainer.
