Detailed Description

Abstract superclass for all ALBA classes implementing RTTI APIs.

albaObject is a superclass implementing some useful features like RTTI APIs. ALBA objects can be created either on the stack or dynamically in the heap. The the latter you can use both "new" or "::New()" for instantiacion and "delete" or "Delete()" for deletion. There's no difference between the two. For reference counted objects these two methods behave differently.

Delete()

virtual void albaObject::Delete ( )

inlinevirtual

the same as delete obj, implemented for syntax compatibility

Reimplemented in albaReferenceCounted.

Definition at line 44 of file albaObject.h.

GetStaticTypeName()

static const char * albaObject::GetStaticTypeName ( )

static

Return the name of this type (static function)

GetTypeName()

virtual const char * albaObject::GetTypeName ( ) const

virtual

Return the class name of this instance.

IsStaticType() [1/2]

static bool albaObject::IsStaticType ( const char *  type_name )

static

This is used by IsA to check the class name.

IsStaticType() [2/2]

static bool albaObject::IsStaticType ( const albaTypeID &  type_id )

static

This is used by IsA to check the class type id.

IsA() [1/2]

virtual bool albaObject::IsA ( const char *  type_name ) const

virtual

Check the class name of this instance.

IsA() [2/2]

virtual bool albaObject::IsA ( const albaTypeID &  type_id ) const

virtual

Check the type id of this instance.

NewObjectInstance()

virtual albaObject * albaObject::NewObjectInstance ( ) const

pure virtual

Return a new instance of the same type.

Implemented in albaAttribute, and albaVME.

Referenced by albaAttribute::NewInstance().

GetStaticTypeId()

static const albaTypeID & albaObject::GetStaticTypeId ( )

static

Return TypeId for this type (static function, i.e.

the pointer type)

GetTypeId()

virtual const albaTypeID & albaObject::GetTypeId ( ) const

virtual

Return TypeId for this object instance (the real type)

SafeDownCast()

static albaObject * albaObject::SafeDownCast ( albaObject *  o )

static

Cast with dynamic type checking.

This is used for casting from (albaObject *)

Referenced by albaAttribute::NewInstance().

Print()

virtual void albaObject::Print ( std::ostream &  os, const int  indent = 0  ) const

virtual

print debug information for this object

Reimplemented in albaMatrix, albaMatrix3x3, albaObjectFactory, albaTransformBase, albaAttribute, albaDataPipe, albaTagArray, albaTimeMapScalar< T >, albaTimeMapScalar< T >, albaTimeMap< T >, albaTimeMap< T >, mmaMaterial, and mmaVolumeMaterial.
