Classes | |
class | infact::TypeName< T > |
We use the templated class TypeName to be able to take an actual C++ type and get the type name string used by the Interpreter and Environment classes. More... | |
class | infact::TypeName< bool > |
A specialization so that an object of type bool converts to "bool" . More... | |
class | infact::TypeName< int > |
A specialization so that an object of type int converts to "int" . More... | |
class | infact::TypeName< double > |
A specialization so that an object of type double converts to "double" . More... | |
class | infact::TypeName< string > |
A specialization so that an object of type string converts to "string" . More... | |
class | infact::TypeName< shared_ptr< T > > |
A partial specialization so that an object of type shared_ptr<T> , where T is some Factory-constructible type, converts to the string produced by TypeName<T> . More... | |
class | infact::TypeName< vector< T > > |
A partial specialization so that an object of type vector<T> gets converted to the type name of T followed by the string "[]" , equivalent to the result of executing the following expression: More... | |
class | infact::MemberInitializer |
An interface for data member initializers of members of a Factory-constructible object. More... | |
class | infact::TypedMemberInitializer< T > |
A concrete, typed implementation of the MemberInitializer base class. More... | |
class | infact::Initializers |
A container for all the member initializers for a particular Factory-constructible instance. More... | |
class | infact::FactoryBase |
An interface for all Factory instances, specifying a few pure virtual methods. More... | |
class | infact::FactoryContainer |
A class to hold all Factory instances that have been created. More... | |
class | infact::Constructor< T > |
An interface with a single virtual method that constructs a concrete instance of the abstract type T . More... | |
class | infact::FactoryConstructible |
An interface simply to make it easier to implement Factory-constructible types by implementing both required methods to do nothing (use of this interface is completely optional; read more for more information). More... | |
class | infact::Factory< T > |
Factory for dynamically created instance of the specified type. More... | |

Macros | |
#define | INFACT_ADD_PARAM(param) initializers.Add(#param, &_ ## param) |

#define | INFACT_ADD_PARAM_(param) initializers.Add(#param, ¶m ## _) |
A macro to make it easy to register a parameter for initialization inside a RegisterInitializers implementation, in a very readable way. More... | |
#define | INFACT_ADD_REQUIRED_PARAM(param) initializers.Add(#param, &_ ## param, true) |
Identical to INFACT_ADD_PARAM but for a required parameter. More... | |

Identical to INFACT_ADD_PARAM_ but for a required parameter. More... | |
#define | INFACT_ADD_TEMPORARY(type, var) initializers.Add(#var, static_cast<type *>(nullptr)) |
A macro to make it easier to register a temporary variable inside a RegisterInitializers implementation, for extraction from the Environment inside a PostInit implementation. More... | |
#define | INFACT_ADD_REQUIRED_TEMPORARY(type, var) initializers.Add(#var, static_cast<type *>(nullptr), true) |
Identical to INFACT_ADD_TEMPORARY but for a required temporary. More... | |
#define | DEFINE_CONS_CLASS(TYPE, NAME, BASE) |
A macro to define a subclass of Constructor whose NewInstance method constructs an instance of TYPE, a concrete subclass of BASE. More... | |
#define | REGISTER_NAMED(TYPE, NAME, BASE) |
This macro registers the concrete subtype TYPE with the specified factory for instances of type BASE; the TYPE is associated with the specified NAME. More... | |
#define | IMPLEMENT_FACTORY(BASE) |
Provides the necessary implementation for a factory for the specified BASE class type. More... | |
Provides a generic dynamic object factory.
Definition in file factory.h.
#define DEFINE_CONS_CLASS | ( | TYPE, | |
NAME, | |||
BASE | |||
) |
A macro to define a subclass of Constructor whose NewInstance method constructs an instance of TYPE, a concrete subclass of BASE.
The concrete subclass TYPE must have a no-argument constructor. This
is a helper macro used only by the REGISTER
macro.
#define IMPLEMENT_FACTORY | ( | BASE | ) |
Provides the necessary implementation for a factory for the specified BASE
class type.
#define INFACT_ADD_PARAM | ( | param | ) | initializers.Add(#param, &_ ## param) |
A macro to make it easy to register a parameter for initialization inside a RegisterInitializers
implementation, in a very readable way.
This macro assumes that you want to register a parameter with the name "param"
for a data member with the underscore-initial name _param
. It also asumes that the sole parameter in your FactoryConstructible::RegisterInitializers implementation is called initializers
.
#define INFACT_ADD_PARAM_ | ( | param | ) | initializers.Add(#param, ¶m ## _) |
A macro to make it easy to register a parameter for initialization inside a RegisterInitializers
implementation, in a very readable way.
This macro assumes that you want to register a parameter with the name "param"
for a data member with the underscore-final name param_
. It also asumes that the sole parameter in your FactoryConstructible::RegisterInitializers implementation is called initializers
.
#define INFACT_ADD_REQUIRED_PARAM | ( | param | ) | initializers.Add(#param, &_ ## param, true) |
Identical to INFACT_ADD_PARAM but for a required parameter.
#define INFACT_ADD_REQUIRED_PARAM_ | ( | param | ) | initializers.Add(#param, ¶m ## _, true) |
Identical to INFACT_ADD_PARAM_ but for a required parameter.
#define INFACT_ADD_REQUIRED_TEMPORARY | ( | type, | |
var | |||
) | initializers.Add(#var, static_cast<type *>(nullptr), true) |
Identical to INFACT_ADD_TEMPORARY but for a required temporary.
While the phrase “required temporary” might sound like an oxymoron, it is not; rather, it simply refers to a named variable that must be specified when constructing a particular type of Factory-constructible object, but still a variable that can only be accessed from the Environment available in that class’ PostInit
method. For example, the current definition of Sheep::RegisterInitializers has a variable named "age"
that is a non-required temporary. As such, it need not be specified when constructing a Sheep
:
If we changed the line in Sheep::RegisterInitializers from INFACT_ADD_TEMPORARY(int, age)
to be INFACT_ADD_REQUIRED_TEMPORARY(int, age)
then the above would cause an error:
#define INFACT_ADD_TEMPORARY | ( | type, | |
var | |||
) | initializers.Add(#var, static_cast<type *>(nullptr)) |
A macro to make it easier to register a temporary variable inside a RegisterInitializers
implementation, for extraction from the Environment inside a PostInit
implementation.
#define REGISTER_NAMED | ( | TYPE, | |
NAME, | |||
BASE | |||
) |
This macro registers the concrete subtype TYPE with the specified factory for instances of type BASE; the TYPE is associated with the specified NAME.
This macro—or a macro defined using this macro—should be used in the implementation file for a concrete subclass TYPE of the baseclass BASE. Often, TYPE and NAME may be the exact same string; however, they must be different when TYPE contains characters that may not appear in C++ identifiers, such as colons (e.g., when TYPE is the fully-qualified name of an inner class).
