Detailed Description

This class provides legacy interface (type descriptor) to run-time type information (RTTI) for OCCT classes inheriting from Standard_Transient.

In addition to features provided by standard C++ RTTI (type_info), Standard_Type allows passing descriptor as an object and using it for analysis of the type:

Use static template method Instance() to get descriptor for a given type. Objects supporting OCCT RTTI return their type descriptor by method DynamicType().

To be usable with OCCT type system, the class should provide:

Note that user-defined name is used since typeid.name() is usually mangled in compiler-dependent way.

Only single chain of inheritance is supported, with a root base class Standard_Transient.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Standard_Type::~Standard_Type ( )

Destructor removes the type from the registry.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T >
static const Handle< Standard_Type >& Standard_Type::Instance ( )
inlinestatic

Template function returning instance of the type descriptor for an argument class.

For optimization, each type is registered only once (due to use of the static variable).

See helper macro DEFINE_STANDARD_RTTI for defining these items in the class.

Standard_CString Standard_Type::Name ( ) const
inline

Returns the given name of the class type (get_type_name)

const Handle< Standard_Type >& Standard_Type::Parent ( ) const
inline

Returns descriptor of the base class in the hierarchy.

void Standard_Type::Print ( Standard_OStream theStream) const

Prints type (address of descriptor + name) to a stream.

static Standard_Type* Standard_Type::Register ( const char *  theSystemName,
const char *  theName,
Standard_Size  theSize,
const Handle< Standard_Type > &  theParent 
)
static

Register a type; returns either new or existing descriptor.

Parameters
theSystemNamename of the class as returned by typeid(class).name()
theNamename of the class to be stored in Name field
theSizesize of the class instance
theParentbase class in the Transient hierarchy

Note that this function is intended for use by opencascade::type_instance only.

Standard_Size Standard_Type::Size ( ) const
inline

Returns the size of the class instance in bytes.

Standard_Boolean Standard_Type::SubType ( const Handle< Standard_Type > &  theOther) const

Returns True if this type is the same as theOther, or inherits from theOther. Note that multiple inheritance is not supported.

Standard_Boolean Standard_Type::SubType ( const Standard_CString  theOther) const

Returns True if this type is the same as theOther, or inherits from theOther. Note that multiple inheritance is not supported.

Standard_CString Standard_Type::SystemName ( ) const
inline

Returns the system type name of the class (typeinfo.name)
