Detailed Description

The destructor class provides a destructor for registered types.

A instance of a destructor class can only be obtained from the type class. See type::get_destructor().

Copying and Assignment

A destructor object is lightweight and can be copied by value. However, each copy will refer to the same underlying destructor.

Typical Usage

constructor string_ctor == type::get_by_name("std::string").get_constructor({type::get<const char*>()});
variant my_string = string_ctor.invoke("Hello World"); // returns an ptr to the object on the heap
type::get("std::string").get_destructor().invoke(my_string);
my_string.is_valid(); // yield to false

Member Function Documentation

type rttr::destructor::get_declaring_type ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the class that declares this destructor.

Remarks
When this destructor is not valid, this function will return an invalid type object (see type::is_valid).
Returns
Type of the declaring class/struct for this destructor.
type rttr::destructor::get_destructed_type ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the rttr::type for which this destructor can delete objects.

Returns
The type of this destructor.
bool rttr::destructor::invoke ( variant obj) const
noexcept

Destroys the contained object in the variant obj.

Remarks
When the obj could be destroyed the given obj is invalid after calling this method; Otherwise it is still valid.
Returns
True if the destructor of the object could be invoked, otherwise false.
bool rttr::destructor::is_valid ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true whether this destructor object is valid; otherwise false.

Returns
Returns true when the destructor is valid; otherwise false.
rttr::destructor::operator bool ( ) const
explicitnoexcept

Convenience function to check if this destructor is valid or not.

Returns
True if this destructor is valid, otherwise false.
bool rttr::destructor::operator!= ( const destructor other) const
noexcept

Returns true if this destructor is the not the same like the other.

Returns
True if both destructors are different, otherwise false.
bool rttr::destructor::operator== ( const destructor other) const
noexcept

Returns true if this destructor is the same like the other.

Returns
True if both destructors are equal, otherwise false.
