Detailed Description

Abstract base class representing generic data with type information.

The BaseData class provides a common interface for handling data of different types. It stores a type identifier as a string and requires derived classes to implement a method to retrieve a pointer to the stored value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BaseData()

gnode::BaseData::BaseData ( std::string type )

inlineexplicit

Constructs a BaseData object with the specified type.

Parameters

type	A string representing the type of the data.

◆ ~BaseData()

virtual gnode::BaseData::~BaseData ( )

virtualdefault

Virtual destructor for BaseData.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_type()

const std::string & gnode::BaseData::get_type ( ) const

inline

Retrieves the type of the data as a string.

Returns: A string representing the type of the data.

◆ get_value_ptr() [1/2]

virtual const void * gnode::BaseData::get_value_ptr ( ) const

pure virtual

Pure virtual method to retrieve a pointer to the stored value.

Returns: A void pointer to the value.

Implemented in gnode::Data< T >.

◆ get_value_ptr() [2/2]

virtual void * gnode::BaseData::get_value_ptr ( )

pure virtual

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Implemented in gnode::Data< T >.

◆ is_same_type()

bool gnode::BaseData::is_same_type ( const BaseData & data ) const

inline

Checks if the type of this data matches the type of another BaseData object.

Parameters

data	The other BaseData object to compare with.

Returns: True if the types match, false otherwise.

Member Data Documentation
