Description

Declaration of all kinds of MObjects to be treated by some "Builder tool".

This is part of Lumiera's visitation mechanism: Individual MObject subclasses may declare by the DEFINE_PROCESSABLE_BY macro to be specifically processable by a builder tool (visitor). On the other hand, any concrete builder tool (visitor) is free to define a treat(Type) function for each of these specific subclasses. If the tool doesn't define such a specific treat(..) function, the next suitable function for a supertype will be used.

Now there needs to be one location where all the specific kinds of treat-able MObjects are declared together (in a typelist). Moreover, we need the full declaration of these classes. This is the catch of using the visitor pattern. Thus, any class to be treated specifically (as opposed to be just treated through a supertype or super interface) has two liabilities:

• DEFINE_PROCESSABLE_BY
• declare the type here in this file, including the header.

Note

actually the ApplicableBuilderTargetTypes template, when used (as a baseclass of any concrete builder tool, causes the generation of the necessary dispatcher tables used by our visitor implementation.
