Detailed Description
template<class C>
class io::proxy< C >
proxy makes a proxy serializable that behaves as if it were another type.
This is typically used to get an object to behave as if it were actually an object of its base class: i.e., all virtual function calls get dispatched to the base class rather than to the most derived class. This is what is needed when trying to do read_from() or write_to() for the base class portion of an object.

Member Function Documentation
| virtual void io::proxy< C >::read_from | ( | io::reader & | reader | ) | [inline, virtual] |
Subclasses implement this method to save the object's state via the generic interface provided by io::reader. Parsing the format of the input is handled by the io::reader, so implementors of read_from() of don't need to deal with formatting.
Implements io::serializable.
| virtual void io::proxy< C >::write_to | ( | io::writer & | writer | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
Subclasses implement this method to restore the object's state via the generic interface provided by io::writer. Formatting the output is handled by the io::writer, so implementors of write_to() of don't need to deal with formatting.
Implements io::serializable.
| virtual io::version_id io::proxy< C >::class_version_id | ( | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
Returns a serialization version id for the class. The default implementation returns zero. Classes should override this when they make a change that requires a change to their serialization protocol. Overriding versions of this function should follow the convention that a higher id refers to a later version of the class. Implementations of io::reader and io::writer will provide a way for a class to store and retrieve the serialization version of an object.
Reimplemented from io::serializable.
| virtual rutz::fstring io::proxy< C >::obj_typename | ( | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
Returns the (apparent) typename of the full object.
The default implementation just returns real_typename(). However, certain kinds of objects -- e.g., proxy objects -- might usefully choose to have obj_typename() return something besides the real_typename(), in order to masquerade as a different type of object.
Reimplemented from nub::object.

| nub::uid nub::object::id | ( | ) | const throw () [inherited] |
| rutz::fstring nub::object::real_typename | ( | ) | const [inherited] |
Returns the typename of the full object.
The result is a demangled version of typeid(*this).name(), which should very closely resemble the way the object was declared in source code.

| void * nub::ref_counted::operator new | ( | size_t | bytes | ) | [inherited] |
Class-specific operator new; protected to ensure that clients use factory functions.
Definition at line 157 of file refcounted.cc.
| void nub::ref_counted::operator delete | ( | void * | space, | |
| size_t | bytes | |||
| ) | [inherited] |
Class-specific operator delete; private since deletion should only happen in ref_counted::decr_ref_count.
Definition at line 163 of file refcounted.cc.
| void nub::ref_counted::incr_ref_count | ( | ) | const throw () [inherited] |
Increment the object's reference count.
This operation (on the strong reference count) is not permitted if the object is unshareable. Unshareable objects can only have their weak reference counts manipulated.

| void nub::ref_counted::decr_ref_count | ( | ) | const throw () [inherited] |
Decrement the object's reference count.
If this causes the reference count to fall to zero or below, the pointee and the pointer will be destroyed by a call to 'delete this'. This operation (on the strong reference count) is not permitted if the object is unshareable. Unshareable objects can only have their weak reference counts manipulated.
Definition at line 212 of file refcounted.cc.
References nub::ref_counts::release_strong().
| void nub::ref_counted::decr_ref_count_no_delete | ( | ) | const throw () [inherited] |
Decrement the object's reference count, but don't delete it.
Unlike decr_ref_count(), the object will NOT be delete'd if the reference count falls to zero. This operation (on the strong reference count) is not permitted if the object is unshareable. Unshareable objects can only have their weak reference counts manipulated.

| bool nub::ref_counted::is_shared | ( | ) | const throw () [inherited] |
Returns true if no external client has sole ownership of the object.
This may occur if either (1) the reference count is greater than one, or (2) the object is_not_shareable(), meaning that the object itself is the only "owner".

| bool nub::ref_counted::is_unshared | ( | ) | const throw () [inherited] |
Returns true if there is a sole external owner of the object.
This occurs if the reference count is one or less and the object is shareable.
Definition at line 236 of file refcounted.cc.
References nub::ref_counted::is_shared().
| bool nub::ref_counted::is_not_shareable | ( | ) | const throw () [inherited] |
Returns true if the object is not shareable for any reason. This could be because its lifespan is volatile (such as objects representing on-screen windows that can be dismissed by the user). The default is for objects to be shareable; objects can declare themselves as unshareable by calling mark_as_volatile().
