Detailed Description

template<class T>
class Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >

A generic implementation of a ScriptArgument that is suitable for primitive types in most situations.

Scripting languages the do not benefit from having different implementations per type should implement their argument subclass derived from this. This will attempt to provide basic type conversion for Datum to C++ types lexigraphically. Any that is innapropriate or suboptimal should be overidden

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T >

Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::ScriptArgumentGeneric ( T  InitialValue )

inline

Create an initialized Argument.

Parameters

InitialValue

The value to initialize the Argument with.

Note

Intentionally not explicit, this allow for passing convertable types directly to functions.

Definition at line 149 of file scriptargument.h.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T >

virtual Boole Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::GetBoole ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the Argument as a Boole.

Returns

The argument value lexographically converted as an Boole

Implements Mezzanine::Scripting::iScriptArgument.

Definition at line 179 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual Integer Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::GetInteger ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the Argument as a Integer, slow default implementation.

Returns

The argument value lexographically converted as an Integer

Implements Mezzanine::Scripting::iScriptArgument.

Definition at line 169 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual ScriptArgumentGeneric<T>* Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::GetMostDerived ( )

inlinevirtual

Get a pointer to the most Derived type of this class.

Returns

A pointer of the most derived pointing to this.

Reimplemented from Mezzanine::Scripting::iScriptArgument.

Definition at line 204 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual Real Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::GetReal ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the Argument as a Real, slow default implementation.

Returns

The argument value lexographically converted as an Real

Implements Mezzanine::Scripting::iScriptArgument.

Definition at line 174 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual String Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::GetString ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the Argument as a String, slow default implementation.

Returns

The argument value lexographically converted as a String

Implements Mezzanine::Scripting::iScriptArgument.

Definition at line 159 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual Integer Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::GetTypeData ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get data about this having an unknown type.

Returns

This will return an Integer containing GenericUnknown. If needed proper specialization of this can be made for any class, see the ScriptArgumentGeneric<Mezzanine::Scripting::Lua::Lua51Nil>

Implements Mezzanine::Scripting::iScriptArgument.

Definition at line 199 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual T Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::GetValue ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the raw primitive to value.

Returns

The internal value that meaningful operation can be performed on.

Definition at line 194 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual Whole Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::GetWhole ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the Argument as a Whole, slow default implementation.

Returns

The argument value lexographically converted as a Whole

Implements Mezzanine::Scripting::iScriptArgument.

Definition at line 164 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual Boole Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::IsNull ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Is this value representing a Null/Nil value.

Returns

This will return true if the string representation of this is empty and the Integer representation equals 0, this could and should be overridden on derived scripting arguments

Implements Mezzanine::Scripting::iScriptArgument.

Definition at line 184 of file scriptargument.h.

template<class T >

virtual void Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::SetValue ( T  NewValue )

inlinevirtual

Provide an overload point to change assignment that operators will use.

Parameters

NewValue

The new value for this.

Definition at line 189 of file scriptargument.h.

Member Data Documentation

template<class T >

T Mezzanine::Scripting::ScriptArgumentGeneric< T >::Datum

protected

The actual data.

Warning

To prevent slicing don't store the parent class in a container. Dpractically guarantees that derived class will have different sizes and overflow container boundaries. If you must store shared pointers in constainers
