Detailed Description

A small typechecking-system for the classes which are part of the general classification scheme. To use it, inherit from STypeInfo and include one of the macros TYPEINFO0,1,2 or 3 -- depending on the number of classes from which you are subclassing -- as the first statement in the class declaration. Include TYPEINFOVAR in the corresponding .cpp file.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void STypeInfo::assureInstanceOf (  const leda_string &    classifier )  const [pure virtual]

The same as isInstanceOf(), only that the program is stopped with an error in case of failure Parameters: classifier  e.g. "P", "Q", "R", etc

virtual leda_string STypeInfo::getClassifier (    )  [pure virtual]

Get the classifier of the object, using the classification scheme. E.g. "P" for Identical Processors Returns: classifier string

virtual bool STypeInfo::isInstanceOf (  const leda_string &    classifier )  const [pure virtual]

Checks whether the object is an instance of the specified or a specialized class Parameters: classifier  e.g. "P", "Q", "R", etc Returns: true if the object can be casted to the specified class
