GetPropertyPointer()

virtual void * xiiPhantomMemberProperty::GetPropertyPointer ( const void * pInstance ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns a pointer to the property data or nullptr. If a valid pointer is returned, that pointer and the information from GetSpecificType() can be used to step deeper into the type (if required).

You need to pass the pointer to an object on which you are operating. This function is mostly of interest when the property itself is a compound type (a struct or class). If it is a simple type (int, float, etc.) it doesn't make much sense to retrieve the pointer.

For example GetSpecificType() might return that a property is of type xiiVec3. In that case one might either stop and just use the code to handle xiiVec3 types, or one might continue and enumerate all sub-properties (x, y and z) as well.

Note

There is no guarantee that this function returns a non-nullptr pointer, independent of the type. When a property uses custom 'accessors' (functions to get / set the property value), it is not possible (or useful) to get the property pointer.

Implements xiiAbstractMemberProperty.

GetSpecificType()

const xiiRTTI * xiiPhantomMemberProperty::GetSpecificType ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the type information of the constant property. Use this to cast this property to a specific version of xiiTypedConstantProperty.

Implements xiiAbstractProperty.

GetValuePtr()

virtual void xiiPhantomMemberProperty::GetValuePtr ( const void * pInstance, void * out_pObject ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Writes the value of this property in pInstance to pObject. pObject needs to point to an instance of this property's type.

Implements xiiAbstractMemberProperty.

SetValuePtr()

virtual void xiiPhantomMemberProperty::SetValuePtr ( void * pInstance, const void * pObject ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Sets the value of pObject to the property in pInstance. pObject needs to point to an instance of this property's type.

Implements xiiAbstractMemberProperty.
