## Detailed Description

defines a Qore-language class

Qore's classes can be either implemented by Qore language code (user classes) or in C++ (builtin classes), or both, as in the case of a builtin class that also has user methods.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DLLEXPORT QoreClass::QoreClass | ( | const char * | n_name,
|  | int | n_domain = `QDOM_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

creates the QoreClass object and assigns the name and the functional domain

Note
  class names and subnamespaces names must be unique in a namespace; i.e. no class may have the same name as a subnamespace within a namespace and vice-versa

Parameters

  n_name | the name of the class
  n_domain | the functional domain of the class to be used to enforce functional restrictions within a Program object

See Also
  QoreProgram

DLLEXPORT QoreClass::QoreClass | ( | const char * | n_name,
|  | int64 | n_domain,
|  | const QoreTypeInfo * | n_typeInfo
| ) |  |

creates the QoreClass object and assigns the name, the functional domain, and a custom QoreTypeInfo object created with AbstractQoreClassTypeInfoHelper

Note
  class names and subnamespaces names must be unique in a namespace; i.e. no class may have the same name as a subnamespace within a namespace and vice-versa

Parameters

  n_name | the name of the class
  n_domain | the functional domain of the class to be used to enforce functional restrictions within a Program object
  n_typeInfo | the custom QoreTypeInfo object created with AbstractQoreClassTypeInfoHelper

See Also
  QoreProgram
  AbstractQoreClassTypeInfoHelper

DLLEXPORT QoreClass::QoreClass | ( | const QoreClass & | old | ) |

copy constructor

should be only called under the appropriate lock (ex: program parse lock while parsing)

## Member Function Documentation

DLLEXPORT void QoreClass::addBuiltinBaseClass | ( | QoreClass * | qc,
|  | QoreListNode * | xargs = `0`
| ) |  |

make a builtin class a child of another builtin class

the xargs argument must not be used; before qore supported function overloading, base class arguments could be given here

Parameters

  qc | the base class to add
  xargs | DEPRECATED must be 0; do not use

DLLEXPORT void QoreClass::addBuiltinConstant | ( | const char * | name,
|  | AbstractQoreNode * | value,
|  | bool | priv = `false`,
|  | const QoreTypeInfo * | typeInfo = `0`
| ) |  |

adds a class constant to the class

Parameters

  name | the name of the constant; cannot be the same as the name of a static variable
  value | the value of the constant
  priv | true if private, false if public
  typeInfo | only need to set if the value assigned to the constant is not an internally-defined type and therefore the type info cannot be automatically determined, otherwise this parameter may be passed as NULL, in which case the type info will be automatically determined

DLLEXPORT void QoreClass::addBuiltinStaticVar | ( | const char * | name,
|  | AbstractQoreNode * | value,
|  | bool | priv = `false`,
|  | const QoreTypeInfo * | typeInfo = `0`
| ) |  |

adds a static variable to the class

Parameters

  name | the name of the static variable; cannot be the same as the name of a class constant
  value | the initial of the static variable
  priv | true if private, false if public
  typeInfo | only need to set if the initial value assigned to the static variable (as given by the 'value' parameter) is not an internally-defined type and therefore the type info cannot be automatically determined, otherwise this parameter may be passed as NULL, in which case the type info will be automatically determined

DLLEXPORT void QoreClass::addBuiltinVirtualBaseClass | ( | QoreClass * | qc | ) |

sets "virtual" base class for a class, meaning that the base class data is appropriate for use in the subclass builtin methods

this method adds a base class placeholder for a subclass - where the subclass' private data object is actually a subclass of the parent class and all methods are virtual, so the base class' constructor, destructor, and copy constructor will never be run and the base class methods will be passed a pointer to the subclass' data

Parameters

  qc | the base class to add

DLLEXPORT void QoreClass::addDefaultBuiltinBaseClass | ( | QoreClass * | qc,
|  | QoreListNode * | xargs = `0`
| ) |  |

make a builtin class a child of another builtin class and ensures that the given class' private data will be used in all class methods

In the case this function is used, this objects of class cannot have private data saved against the class ID. The xargs argument must not be used; before qore supported function overloading, base class arguments could be given here

Parameters

  qc | the base class to add
  xargs | DEPRECATED must be 0; do not use

DLLEXPORT void QoreClass::addMethod | ( | const char * | n_name,
|  | q_method_t | meth,
|  | bool | priv = `false`
| ) |  |

adds a builtin method to a class

in debuggging mode, the call will abort if the name of the method is "constructor", "destructor", or "copy", or if the method already exists in the class. To set the constructor method, call QoreClass::setConstructor(). To set the destructor method, call QoreClass::setDestructor(). To set the copy method, call QoreClass::setCopy().

Parameters

  n_name | the name of the method, must be unique in the class
  meth | the method to be added

  priv

  if true then the variant will be added as a private variant
  // the actual function can be declared with the class to be expected as the private data as follows:
  static AbstractQoreNode *AL_lock(QoreObject *self, QoreAutoLock *m, const QoreListNode *params, ExceptionSink *xsink);
  ...
  // and then casted to (q_method_t) in the addMethod call:
  QC_AutoLock->addMethod("lock", (q_method_t)AL_lock);
