Detailed Description

A container that holds many Interfaces.

An interface is an object that is associated with a certain "domain type". Many interface classes may exist for the same domain type, but only one interface object may exist per container. The domain type itself is a dummy type which is never instantiated, it is used only to group certain interface classes into a common hierarchy.

Its name stems from the observation that a cube has multiple faces, so an Intercube must have multiple Interfaces as well.

Member Function Documentation

findInterface()

RefPtr< InterfaceBase > MemCore::Intercube::findInterface

(

const type_info &

t

)

const

Find a certain interface of specified type.

Parameters

t	The interface type to be queried.

getInterface()

RefPtr< InterfaceBase > MemCore::Intercube::getInterface

(

const type_info &

t

)

Retrieve an interface object from a certain type.

Might create the interface on demand.

hasInterface()

bool MemCore::Intercube::hasInterface

(

const type_info &

t

)

const

Check if some Interface might exist.

Does not create the interface if it does not exist.
