PolymorphicValue< IFA, storage, CPY > Class Template Reference

#include "lib/polymorphic-value.hpp"

Description

template<class IFA, size_t storage, class CPY = IFA>
class lib::PolymorphicValue< IFA, storage, CPY >

Template to build polymorphic value objects.

Inline buffer with value semantics, yet holding and owning an object while concealing the concrete type, exposing only the public interface. Access to the contained object is by implicit conversion to this public interface. The actual implementation object might be placed into the buffer through a builder function; later, this buffer may be copied and passed on without knowing the actual contained type.

For using PolymorphicValue, several assumptions need to be fulfilled

  • any instance placed into the opaque buffer is below the specified maximum size
  • the caller cares for thread safety. No concurrent get calls while in mutation!
Warning
when a create or copy-into operation fails with exception, the whole PolymorphicValue object is in undefined state and must not be used henceforth.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PolymorphicValue() [1/2]

PolymorphicValue ( TypeSelector< IMP >  ,
ARGS &&...  args 
)
inlineprivate

this is the actual working ctor, which must care to decorate the desired impl type with an additional adapter to support copy operations.

Definition at line 456 of file polymorphic-value.hpp.

◆ PolymorphicValue() [2/2]

PolymorphicValue ( IMP *  ,
ARGS &&...  args 
)
inlineprotected

ctor for subclasses and builder functions. The constructor requires an additional type-selector argument. On invocation, the desired subclass/implementation object is immediately planted into the embedded buffer, passing through the given ctor arguments.
