Namespaces
namespace	ml
	Defines the class GetTileJob.

Macros
#define	ML_SET_ADDSTATE_VERSION(v)
	Macro to add the static function getAddStateVersion(void) to the implementation.

	Nicer name for ML_SET_ADDSTATE_VERSION.

Functions
template<typename ToTypePtr>
ToTypePtr	mlbase_cast (ml::Base *from)
	Template function to allow type-safe casting of a base object to a derived object.
template<typename ToTypePtr>

Value:

ML_SET_ADDSTATE_VERSION(v)

Nicer name for ML_SET_ADDSTATE_VERSION.

ML_SET_ADDSTATE_VERSION

#define ML_SET_ADDSTATE_VERSION

(

v

)

Value:

static int getAddStateVersion(void) { return v; };

Macro to add the static function getAddStateVersion(void) to the implementation.

Class representing general ML objects that support import/export via strings (setPersistentState() and getPersistentState()), arbitrary tree structures (using addStateToTree() and readStateFromTree()) or a data stream (using writeTo() and readFrom()).

Function Documentation

mlbase_cast() [1/2]

template<typename ToTypePtr>

ToTypePtr mlbase_cast ( const ml::Base * from )

inline

Overload of the above template function, which makes conversion of const-pointers possible.

Definition at line 190 of file mlBase.h.

mlbase_cast() [2/2]

template<typename ToTypePtr>

ToTypePtr mlbase_cast ( ml::Base * from )

inline

Template function to allow type-safe casting of a base object to a derived object.

Template function to allow type-safe casting of a base object to a derived object. The function takes a from base object and returns a pointer to the desired object if the from pointer is derived from that ToTypePtr type. Otherwise, a NULL pointer is returned. If NULL is passed to the function, NULL is returned. This function should be preferred to the ML_BASE_IS_A macro.

Example 1:

if (mlbase_cast<GVRVolume*>(someBaseObject)) {
  GVRVolume* volume = static_cast<GVRVolume*>(someBaseObject);
  ...
} else if (mlbase_cast<OtherType*>(someBaseObject)) {
  ...
}

Example 2:

GVRVolume* volume = mlbase_cast<GVRVolume*>(someBaseObject);
if (volume) {
  ...
}
