Detailed Description

Provides methods for getting the class names of cvr::objects.

This class uses the std::string container to avoid possible memory leaks.

Member Function Documentation

static std::string cvr::className::demangle

(

const std::string &

mangled

)

[static]

Demangle.

You can use this methods to gain the name of a class that is not inherited from cvr::object.

The input is the one given by typeid().name()

Example:

 cvr::point<float> p;
 std::string typeOfP = className::demangle(typeid(p).name());

Warning:

Remember that the pointer returned by typeid belongs to the system. You should never delete that pointer.

static void cvr::className::get	(	const object *	o,
		std::string &	result
	)			[static]

Return the name of the given type.

This class uses the std::typeinfo functions, but it "demangles" the output to produce a valid C++ type name, i.e. the returned string considers the template arguments and is usually fully qualified.

The implementations should ensure that the returned name has the following format:

<namespace>::<classname>::<innerclassname>::...

Example:

 cvr::boundingBox<double>::parameters

The name is returned in the result parameter. This is a much safer method than the method returning a pointer.

static void cvr::className::get	(	const object &	o,
		std::string &	result
	)			[static]

Return the name of the given type.

Example:

 cvr::boundingBox<double>::parameters

The name is returned in the result parameter. This is a much safer method than the method returning a pointer.

static std::string cvr::className::get

(

const object &

o

)

[static]

Return the name of the given object.

See also:

get(const object*)

static std::string cvr::className::get

(

const object *

o

)

[static]

Return the name of the given type.

This class uses the std::typeinfo functions, but it "demangles" the output to produce a valid C++ type name, i.e. the returned string considers the template arguments and is usually fully qualified.

The implementations should ensure that the returned name has the following format:

<namespace>::<classname>::<innerclassname>::...

Example:

 cvr::boundingBox<double>::parameters

Warning:

The function returns a pointer to an internal class member. So, the pointer is only valid for the lifetime of this object or until the next time get is called, whatever occurs first.
