Detailed Description

Function Documentation

◆ bitCast()

template<typename To , typename From >
To rack::bitCast ( From  from)

Casts a primitive, preserving its bits instead of converting.

◆ construct() [1/2]

template<typename T >
T * rack::construct ( )

C#-style property constructor Example:

Foo *foo = construct<Foo>(&Foo::greeting, "Hello world", &Foo::legs, 2);

◆ construct() [2/2]

template<typename T , typename F , typename V , typename... Args>
T * rack::construct ( f,
v,
Args...  args 
)

◆ deferWrapper()

template<typename F >
DeferWrapper< F > rack::deferWrapper ( f)

◆ get() [1/2]

template<typename C >
const C::mapped_type & rack::get ( const C &  c,
const typename C::key_type &  key,
const typename C::mapped_type &  def = typename C::mapped_type() 
)

Given a std::map c, returns the value of the given key, or returns def if the key doesn't exist.

Does not add the default value to the map.

Posted to https://stackoverflow.com/a/63683271/272642. Example:

std::map<std::string, int> m;
int v = get(m, "a", 3);

v is 3 because the key "a" does not exist

int w = get(m, "a");

w is 0 because no default value is given, so it assumes the default int.

◆ get() [2/2]

template<typename C >
const C::value_type & rack::get ( const C &  c,
typename C::size_type  i,
const typename C::value_type &  def = typename C::value_type() 
)

Given a std::vector c, returns the value of the given index i, or returns def if the index is out of bounds.

◆ contextGet()

Context * rack::contextGet ( )

inline

Deprecated.

Use contextGet() or the APP macro to get the current Context.

◆ createModel()

template<class TModule , class TModuleWidget >
plugin::Model * rack::createModel ( std::string  slug)

Returns a Model that constructs a Module and ModuleWidget subclass.
