Detailed Description

This class manages the type infos.

Intended usage: Each entity class that occurs in the game keeps a static TypeInfoT member (plus a non-static, virtual GetTypeInfo() method that returns that member). The constructor of each such TypeInfoT member registers its own this-pointer with an instance of this class, so that when main() begins, the TypeInfoManT is aware of all TypeInfoTs and thus all entity classes. Its Init() method then completes the type initialization.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TypeInfoManT::TypeInfoManT

(

)

The constructor.

Member Function Documentation

const TypeInfoT * TypeInfoManT::FindTypeInfoByName

(

const char *

ClassName

)

const

Returns the type info matching the class name ClassName.

Returns

the (pointer to the) TypeInfoT matching ClassName, or NULL if not found.

const TypeInfoT * TypeInfoManT::FindTypeInfoByNr

(

unsigned long

TypeNr

)

const

Returns the type info matching the type number TypeNr.

Returns

the (pointer to the) TypeInfoT T, so that T->TypeNr==TypeNr.

const ArrayT<const TypeInfoT*>& cf::TypeSys::TypeInfoManT::GetTypeInfoRoots ( ) const

inline

Returns the roots of the inheritance trees. (Normally there should only be one root.)

const ArrayT<const TypeInfoT*>& cf::TypeSys::TypeInfoManT::GetTypeInfosByName ( ) const

inline

Returns all type infos registered with this TypeInfoManT, ordered by name.

const ArrayT<const TypeInfoT*>& cf::TypeSys::TypeInfoManT::GetTypeInfosByNr ( ) const

inline

Returns all type infos registered with this TypeInfoManT, ordered by type number.

GetTypeInfosByNr()[i]->TypeNr == i

void TypeInfoManT::Init

(

)

Completes the initialization of the TypeInfoManT and the registered type infos.

Should be called exactly once before any other TypeInfoManT method is called.

void TypeInfoManT::Register

(

TypeInfoT *

TI

)

Registers the given TypeInfoT with this type info manager.

Only the TypeInfoT constructor code should call this, which in turn should only occur during global static initialization time, never after Init() has been called.
