Detailed Description

Base class for functors.

This base class provides common support for options handling and similar things. Functors are interfaces whose purpose is a single computation, like a conventional function call.

Member Function Documentation

error_text()

virtual const char * mi::neuraylib::IFunctor_base::error_text ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a descriptive string for the last error.

The returned pointer is valid until the next function call or until this interface is released, whichever happens first.

Returns

A description of the error from the last function call, or NULL if the last function call was successful.

get_default_options()

virtual IDictionary * mi::neuraylib::IFunctor_base::get_default_options ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the default options for this functor.

Returns

A dictionary that contains all permissible options keys and their default values for this functor.

get_options_description()

virtual const IDictionary * mi::neuraylib::IFunctor_base::get_options_description ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the descriptions of all options.

Returns

A dictionary that maps the key names of the default options to a corresponding description describing the meaning of the value.

get_options_type()

virtual const IDictionary * mi::neuraylib::IFunctor_base::get_options_type ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the types of all options.

Returns

A dictionary that maps the key names of the default options to the corresponding types.

options_valid()

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IFunctor_base::options_valid ( const IDictionary *  options )

pure virtual

Checks whether the options are valid for the functor.

Returns

true if and only if the options are valid, i.e., all keys and their values are permissible for the functor.
