Detailed Description

The parameter_info class provides several meta information about a parameter.

A instance of a parameter_info class can be obtained from the method or constructor class. See method::get_parameter_infos() and constructor::get_parameter_infos().

For registration additional parameter infos, see parameter_names().

Meta Information

Copying and Assignment

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

Typical Usage

using namespace rttr;
void set_window_geometry(const char* name, int w, int h) {...}
{
registration::method("set_window_geometry", &set_window_geometry)
(
parameter_names("window name", "width", "height")
);
}
//...
method meth = type::get_global_method("set_window_geometry");
std::vector<parameter_info> param_list = meth.get_parameter_infos();
for (const auto& info : param_list)
{
// print all names of the parameter types and its position in the paramter list
std::cout << " name: '" << info.get_type().get_name() << "'\n"
<< "index: " << info.get_index()
<< std::endl;
}

Output:

 name: 'window name'
index: 0
 name: 'width'
index: 1
 name: 'height'
index: 2

Member Function Documentation

variant rttr::parameter_info::get_default_value ( ) const

Returns the default value as variant for this parameter; or an invalid variant to indicate that no default value is available.

Returns
Default value as variant.
uint32_t rttr::parameter_info::get_index ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the zero-based position of the parameter in the formal parameter list.

Returns
An integer representing the position this parameter occupies in the parameter list.
string_view rttr::parameter_info::get_name ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the name of this parameter.

When no name was provided during registration via parameter_names(), then an empty string is returned.

Returns
The name of the parameter.
type rttr::parameter_info::get_type ( ) const
noexcept

Returns type of this parameter.

Returns
Parameter type.
bool rttr::parameter_info::has_default_value ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true when this parameter has a default value; otherwise false.

Returns
Bool to indicate that this parameter has a default value.
bool rttr::parameter_info::operator!= ( const parameter_info other) const
noexcept

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

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

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

Returns
True if both properties are equal, otherwise false.
