Function Documentation

getEnumRecord()

const void * getEnumRecord	(	const std::type_info &	rtti,
		integer	integral
	)

---

Retrieves the enum record stored for the enum element with integral value integral of enum type rtti.

Parameters

rtti	The enumeration type.
integral	The integral value of the enum element.

Returns

A pointer to the record, nullptr if not found.

getInternalRecordMap()

const HashMap< EnumRecordKey, const void *, EnumRecordKey::Hash, EnumRecordKey::EqualTo > & getInternalRecordMap

(

)

---

This detail function returns the central hash table that stores all enum records of all types. A constant reference is returned, which is in alignment with the general contract of this concept that considers enum records as static data which must not be modified after bootstrapping a software.

Consequently, there are no mechanisms to protect parallel access, as after bootstrap exclusively read operations are allowed.

Prior to bootstrapping, the returned map may be const_cast'ed to a mutable reference for the sake of modifying the base- and maximum load factors as well as for reserving a certain element capacity. The default values are already raised to 3.0 and 6.0, as the retrieval of enumeration records is not considered to be done in time-critical code units.

Direct access to this map is not recommended, and useful only in seldom cases.

A good sample for its use, is to provide debug-output of all defined records for a type in the case that a record for a certain enumeration element of that type was not found, and such output is required to be performed in a code unit that has lost (templated) compile-time type information.

Note

Run-time access to single records is provided with function aworx::lib::enums::detail::getEnumRecord(const std::type_info& rtti " integer)" and encapsulated in type Enum of module ALib Boxing.

Attention

In the absence of module ALib Memory in an ALib Distribution, the returned type changes to std::unordered_map.

Returns

A constant reference to the internal hash map storing all enum records.

setEnumRecord()

void setEnumRecord	(	const std::type_info &	rtti,
		integer	integral,
		const void *	record
	)

---

Stores the record for enum element of the given enum type rtti. If a value already exists, it is ignored. This allows to have multiple records, while only the first is found.

Parameters

rtti	The enumeration type.
integral	The integral value of the enum element.
record	The record to associate.
