Headers

Defines the main constructs of the library: methods, overriders and virtual pointers, and mechanisms to implement them. Does not define any public macros apart from BOOST_OPENMETHOD_DEFAULT_REGISTRY, if it is not defined already.

Defines the public macros of the library, such as BOOST_OPENMETHOD, BOOST_OPENMETHOD_CLASSES, etc.

There is little point in including this header directly, as this has the same effect as including boost/openmethod.hpp, which is shorter.

Includes core.hpp and macros.hpp.

Provides the initialize and finalize functions. This header is typically included in the translation unit containing main. Translation units that dynamically load or unload shared libraries may also need to call those functions.

Provides a virtual_traits specialization that makes it possible to use a std::shared_ptr in place of a raw pointer or reference in virtual parameters.

Provides a virtual_traits specialization that makes it possible to use a std::unique_ptr in place of a raw pointer or reference in virtual parameters.

The headers below are for advanced use.

Defines registry and stock policy categories. Also defines all types and functions necessary for the definition of registry.

Provides an implementation of the rtti policy using standard RTTI.

Provides an implementation of the hash policy using a fast perfect hash function.

Provides an implementation of the vptr policy that stores the v-table pointers in a std::vector indexed by type ids, possibly hashed.

Provides an implementation of the error_handler policy that calls a std::function<void(openmethod_error)> when an error is encountered, and before the library aborts the program.

Provides an implementation of the output policy that writes diagnostics to the C standard error stream (not using iostreams).

Defines the default registry, which contains all the stock policies listed above. Includes all the headers listed in this section so far.

Provides a minimal implementation of the rtti policy that does not depend on standard RTTI.

Provides an implementation of the error_handler policy that throws errors as exceptions.

Provides an implementation of the vptr policy that stores the v-table pointers in a map (by default a std::map) indexed by type ids.
