Constructor & Destructor Documentation

cNedFunction()

cNedFunction	(	NedFunction	f,
		const char *	signature,
		const char *	category = nullptr,
		const char *	description = nullptr
	)

Constructor. Signature is expected in the following syntax: returntype name(argtype argname,...), where types can be bool, long, double, quantity, intquantity, string, xml, any; names of optional arguments end in '?'. The object name will be the function name, as extracted from the signature string. The signature may end in an ellipsis, i.e. "...", to mean that any number of extra args of unspecified types should be accepted. (When there are both optional args and an ellipsis, then extra arguments can only be passed when all optional arguments are all supplied.)

Examples: "quantity uniform(quantity a, quantity b, long rng?)" "string sprintf(format, ...)" "any max(...)"

~cNedFunction()

virtual ~cNedFunction ( )

inlinevirtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

str()

virtual std::string str ( ) const

overridevirtual

Produces a one-line description of the object's contents.

Reimplemented from cObject.

invoke()

cNedValue invoke	(	cComponent *	context,
		cNedValue	argv[],
		int	argc
	)

Performs argument type checking, and invokes the function.

getFunctionPointer()

NedFunction getFunctionPointer ( ) const

inline

Returns the function pointer. Do not call the function directly, because that would bypass argument type validation.

getSignature()

const char* getSignature ( ) const

inline

Returns the functions signature, as passed to the constructor

getReturnType()

char getReturnType ( ) const

inline

Returns the function return type, one of the characters B,L,D,Q,S,X,* for bool, long, double, quantity, string, xml and any, respectively.

getArgType()

char getArgType ( int  k ) const

inline

Returns the type of the kth argument; result is one of the characters B,L,D,Q,S,X,* for bool, long, double, quantity, string, xml and any, respectively.

getMinArgs()

int getMinArgs ( ) const

inline

Returns the minimum number of arguments (i.e. the number of mandatory arguments).

getMaxArgs()

int getMaxArgs ( ) const

inline

Returns the maximum number of typed arguments (i.e. the last max-min args are optional). If hasVarArgs() is true, the function actually accepts more than getMaxArgs() arguments.

hasVarArgs()

bool hasVarArgs ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the function signature ends in an ellipsis ("..."), that is, the function supports varargs.

getCategory()

const char* getCategory ( ) const

inline

Returns a string that can be useful in classifying NED functions, e.g. "trigonometric".

getDescription()

const char* getDescription ( ) const

inline

Returns the function's documentation as a string.

find()

static cNedFunction* find ( const char *  name )

static

Finds a registered function by name. Returns nullptr if not found.

get()

static cNedFunction* get ( const char *  name )

static

Finds a registered function by name. Throws an error if not found.

findByPointer()

static cNedFunction* findByPointer ( NedFunction  f )

static

Finds a registered function by function pointer.
