Detailed Description

This class is a simple container for pointers to VarBaseTs.

Together with the VarT classes, it provides a very simple kind of "reflection" or "type introspection" feature. See class ComponentBaseT for an example use.

Member Function Documentation

void cf::TypeSys::VarManT::AddAlias	(	const char *	Alias,
		VarBaseT *	Var
	)

Adds an alias name for the given variable so that a call to Find() will also find the variable under the alias name.

The purpose of this method is to provide backwards-compatibility if variables must be renamed after they have been introduced and became widely used, e.g. in custom user scripts.
