Member Function Documentation

some rubber::meta_type::create ( void  ) const [inline]

Default-constructs (if possible) an instance of the reflected type.

If the reflected type supports default construction, then this member function creates and returns a new instance. Otherwise the returned some type is empty.

bool rubber::meta_object::is_X ( void  ) const [inherited]

A set of member functions indicating this meta-object's category.

This is not a single member-function, it is instead a set of functions like is_type, is_namespace, is_variable, etc. returning true or false based on whether this meta-object is of a particular kind.

See also:
category
as
std::string rubber::meta_named_scoped_object::local_name ( void  ) const [inline, inherited]

Returns the local name of the reflected named object.

This member function if available only if the #RUBBER_MSNO_WITH_LOCAL_NAME preprocessor symbol is defined with a nonzero integer value.

Important note: Although the 'boostified' version of Mirror uses the Boost C++ libraries Coding Guidelines and is implemented inside of the boost namespace, it IS NOT an officially reviewed and accepted Boost library. Mirror is being developed with the intention to be submitted for review for inclusion to the Boost C++ libraries.
