Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ EnumField() [1/4]

ml::EnumField::EnumField	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string	enumerationItemNames[],
		size_t	numEnumerationItems )

Implements the runtime type system interface for this class.

Constructor, creates a field with a name to manage an enum value. The value range for the enum value is [0, numEnumerationItems-1]. The value names are defined by enumerationItemNames. The maximum number of enum entries is ML_INT32_MAX, minimum is 1; exceeding that will lead to fatal errors, even on 64 bit systems. Note that enumerationItemNames must contain at least numEnumerationItems string values.

◆ EnumField() [2/4]

ml::EnumField::EnumField	(	const std::string &	name,
		const char const	enumerationItemNames,
		size_t	numEnumerationItems )

Constructor, creates a field with a name to manage an enum value.

The value range for the enum value is [0, numEnumerationItems-1]. The value names are defined by enumerationItemNames. The maximum number of enum entries is ML_INT32_MAX, minimum is 1; exceeding that will lead to fatal errors, even on 64 bit systems. Note that enumerationItemNames must contain at least numEnumerationItems string values.

◆ EnumField() [3/4]

ml::EnumField::EnumField	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::vector< std::string > &	enumerationItemNames )

Constructor, creates a field with a name to manage an enum value.

The field creates the value buffer internally. The value range for the enum value is [0, enumerationItemNames.size-1]. The value names are defined by enumerationItemNames. The maximum number of enum entries is ML_INT32_MAX, minimum is 1; exceeding that will lead to fatal errors, even on 64 bit systems. The default enum value is 0.

Destroys this field and releases internally allocated memory.

◆ EnumField() [4/4]
