WATCH Macros

Description

WATCH macros make normal variables show up in Qtenv inspectors.

#define	WATCH_VECTOR(variable)
	Makes std::vectors inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTRVECTOR(). More...
#define	WATCH_PTRVECTOR(variable)
	Makes std::vectors storing pointers inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_VECTOR(). More...
#define	WATCH_LIST(variable)
	Makes std::lists inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTRLIST(). More...
#define	WATCH_PTRLIST(variable)
	Makes std::lists storing pointers inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_LIST(). More...
#define	WATCH_SET(variable)
	Makes std::sets inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTRSET(). More...
#define	WATCH_PTRSET(variable)
	Makes std::sets storing pointers inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_SET(). More...
#define	WATCH_MAP(m)
	Makes std::maps inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTRMAP(). More...
#define	WATCH_PTRMAP(m)
	Makes std::maps storing pointers inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_MAP(). More...
#define	WATCH(variable)
	Makes primitive types and types with operator<< inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_RW(), WATCH_PTR(), WATCH_OBJ(), WATCH_VECTOR(), WATCH_PTRVECTOR(), etc. macros. More...
#define	WATCH_RW(variable)
	Makes types with operator<< and operator>> inspectable in Qtenv. operator>> is used to enable changing the variable's value interactively. More...
#define	WATCH_OBJ(variable)
	Makes classes derived from cObject inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTR(). More...
#define	WATCH_PTR(variable)
	Makes pointers to objects derived from cObject inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_OBJ(). More...
#define	WATCH_EXPR(name, expression)
	Makes the result of a formula or calculation inspectable in Qtenv without requiring a separate variable. The expression is evaluated as often as needed, providing real-time monitoring of derived metrics. Unlike WATCH which monitors single variables, WATCH_EXPR can display the result of operations combining multiple variables, function calls, or any valid expression. More...
#define	WATCH_LAMBDA(name, lambdaFunction)
	Makes the result of a lambda function inspectable in Qtenv. This is a more flexible (but also more verbose) version of WATCH_EXPR(). More...

Macro Definition Documentation

WATCH_VECTOR

#define WATCH_VECTOR

(

variable

)

Makes std::vectors inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTRVECTOR().

WATCH

#define WATCH

(

variable

)

Makes primitive types and types with operator<< inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_RW(), WATCH_PTR(), WATCH_OBJ(), WATCH_VECTOR(), WATCH_PTRVECTOR(), etc. macros.

WATCH_PTRVECTOR

#define WATCH_PTRVECTOR

(

variable

)

Makes std::vectors storing pointers inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_VECTOR().

WATCH_LIST

#define WATCH_LIST

(

variable

)

Makes std::lists inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTRLIST().

WATCH_PTRLIST

#define WATCH_PTRLIST

(

variable

)

Makes std::lists storing pointers inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_LIST().

WATCH_SET

#define WATCH_SET

(

variable

)

Makes std::sets inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTRSET().

WATCH_PTRSET

#define WATCH_PTRSET

(

variable

)

Makes std::sets storing pointers inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_SET().

WATCH_MAP

#define WATCH_MAP

(

m

)

Makes std::maps inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTRMAP().

WATCH_PTRMAP

#define WATCH_PTRMAP

(

m

)

Makes std::maps storing pointers inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_MAP().

WATCH_RW

#define WATCH_RW

(

variable

)

Makes types with operator<< and operator>> inspectable in Qtenv. operator>> is used to enable changing the variable's value interactively.

WATCH_OBJ

#define WATCH_OBJ

(

variable

)

Makes classes derived from cObject inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_PTR().

WATCH_PTR

#define WATCH_PTR

(

variable

)

Makes pointers to objects derived from cObject inspectable in Qtenv. See also WATCH_OBJ().

WATCH_EXPR

#define WATCH_EXPR	(		name,
			expression
	)

Makes the result of a formula or calculation inspectable in Qtenv without requiring a separate variable. The expression is evaluated as often as needed, providing real-time monitoring of derived metrics. Unlike WATCH which monitors single variables, WATCH_EXPR can display the result of operations combining multiple variables, function calls, or any valid expression.

The macro works by creating a lambda function. Note that local variables will be captured by value (i.e. their current values will be used.) See also WATCH_LAMBDA() which gives you more flexibility.

Example: WATCH_EXPR("totalPks", numTransmitted + queue.length() + numDropped)

WATCH_LAMBDA

#define WATCH_LAMBDA	(		name,
			lambdaFunction
	)

Makes the result of a lambda function inspectable in Qtenv. This is a more flexible (but also more verbose) version of WATCH_EXPR().

Example: WATCH_LAMBDA("totalPks", [this]() { return numTransmitted + queue.length() + numDropped; })
