Detailed Description

template<typename Storage, typename FunctionsStorage = Storage, typename FunctionArgsStorage = FunctionsStorage, typename AttributesStorage = FunctionsStorage>
class cpp::Any< Storage, FunctionsStorage, FunctionArgsStorage, AttributesStorage >

Implements a type-erased object container with support for dynamic method and attribute invokation.

cpp::Any extends the interface of cpp::SimpleAny to add dynamic manipulation of the object's interface. cpp::Any keeps track of a set of methods and attributes the instace has assigned, so it can behave as an instance of a class with its interface and associated data members:

auto any = cpp::Any::create<MyClass>("hello");
any("method") = &MyCass::method;
any("method")("hello, "s, "world"s); // Invokes <MyClass object>.method("hello, ", "world")
any["field"] = &MyClass::field;
any["field"] = 42; // <MyClass object>.field = 42

The behavior is undefined if the user access a method or attribute the any object doesn't have

Template Parameters
StorageStorage for the type erased object
FunctionsStorageStorage for the type erased methods. Storage by default
FunctionArgsStorageStorage for the type erased method call arguments. FunctionsStorage by default
AttributesStorageStorage for the type erased attributes. Storage by default

Member Function Documentation

template<typename Storage , typename FunctionsStorage = Storage, typename FunctionArgsStorage = FunctionsStorage, typename AttributesStorage = FunctionsStorage>
bool cpp::Any< Storage, FunctionsStorage, FunctionArgsStorage, AttributesStorage >::hasAttribute ( const std::string &  name) const
inline

Checks if the object has an attribute with a given name.

Parameters
namename of the attribute
Returns
True if there's an attribute associated to that name, false otherwise
template<typename Storage , typename FunctionsStorage = Storage, typename FunctionArgsStorage = FunctionsStorage, typename AttributesStorage = FunctionsStorage>
bool cpp::Any< Storage, FunctionsStorage, FunctionArgsStorage, AttributesStorage >::hasMethod ( const std::string &  name) const
inline

Checks if the object has a method with a given name.

Parameters
namename of the method
Returns
True if there's a method associated to that name, false otherwise
template<typename Storage , typename FunctionsStorage = Storage, typename FunctionArgsStorage = FunctionsStorage, typename AttributesStorage = FunctionsStorage>
MethodProxy cpp::Any< Storage, FunctionsStorage, FunctionArgsStorage, AttributesStorage >::operator() ( const std::string &  name)
inline

Gives access to an object method.

Parameters
nameName of the object. If the object has no method with that name, the behavior is undefined
Returns
A proxy to the method. This proxy can be assigned, to change the method, or invoked.
template<typename Storage , typename FunctionsStorage = Storage, typename FunctionArgsStorage = FunctionsStorage, typename AttributesStorage = FunctionsStorage>
ConstMethodProxy cpp::Any< Storage, FunctionsStorage, FunctionArgsStorage, AttributesStorage >::operator() ( const std::string &  name) const
inline

Gives access to an object method.

Parameters
nameName of the object. If the object has no method with that name, the behavior is undefined
Returns
A proxy to the method. This proxy can be assigned, to change the method, or invoked.
