Detailed Description

template<typename Ret, typename... Args>
class entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>

Utility class to use to send around functions and members.

Unmanaged delegate for function pointers and members. Users of this class are in charge of disconnecting instances before deleting them.

A delegate can be used as a general purpose invoker without memory overhead for free functions possibly with payloads and bound or unbound members.

Template Parameters

Ret	Return type of a function type.
Args	Types of arguments of a function type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ delegate() [1/2]

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

template<auto Candidate, typename... Type>

entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::delegate	(	connect_arg_t< Candidate >	,
		Type &&...	value_or_instance )

inlinenoexcept

Constructs a delegate with a given object or payload, if any.

Template Parameters

Candidate	Function or member to connect to the delegate.
Type	Type of class or type of payload, if any.

Parameters

value_or_instance Optional valid object that fits the purpose.

Definition at line 117 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ delegate() [2/2]

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::delegate	(	function_type *	function,
		const void *	payload = nullptr )

inlinenoexcept

Constructs a delegate and connects an user defined function with optional payload.

Parameters

function	Function to connect to the delegate.
payload	User defined arbitrary data.

Definition at line 127 of file delegate.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ connect() [1/4]

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

template<auto Candidate>

void entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::connect ( )

inlinenoexcept

Connects a free function or an unbound member to a delegate.

Template Parameters

Candidate Function or member to connect to the delegate.

Definition at line 136 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ connect() [2/4]

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

void entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::connect	(	function_type *	function,
		const void *	payload = nullptr )

inlinenoexcept

Connects an user defined function with optional payload to a delegate.

The delegate isn't responsible for the connected object or the payload. Users must always guarantee that the lifetime of an instance overcomes the one of the delegate.
The payload is returned as the first argument to the target function in all cases.

Parameters

function	Function to connect to the delegate.
payload	User defined arbitrary data.

Definition at line 216 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ connect() [3/4]

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

template<auto Candidate, typename Type >

void entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::connect ( Type & value_or_instance )

inlinenoexcept

Connects a free function with payload or a bound member to a delegate.

The delegate isn't responsible for the connected object or the payload. Users must always guarantee that the lifetime of the instance overcomes the one of the delegate.
When used to connect a free function with payload, its signature must be such that the instance is the first argument before the ones used to define the delegate itself.

Template Parameters

Candidate	Function or member to connect to the delegate.
Type	Type of class or type of payload.

Parameters

value_or_instance A valid reference that fits the purpose.

Definition at line 166 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ connect() [4/4]

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

template<auto Candidate, typename Type >

void entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::connect ( Type * value_or_instance )

inlinenoexcept

Connects a free function with payload or a bound member to a delegate.

See also: connect(Type &)

Template Parameters

Candidate	Function or member to connect to the delegate.
Type	Type of class or type of payload.

Parameters

value_or_instance A valid pointer that fits the purpose.

Definition at line 190 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ data()

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

const void * entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::data ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the instance or the payload linked to a delegate, if any.

Returns: An opaque pointer to the underlying data.

Definition at line 244 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ operator bool()

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::operator bool ( ) const

inlineexplicitnoexcept

Checks whether a delegate actually stores a listener.

Returns: False if the delegate is empty, true otherwise.

Definition at line 269 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ operator()()

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

Ret entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::operator() ( Args... args ) const

inline

Triggers a delegate.

The delegate invokes the underlying function and returns the result.

Warning: Attempting to trigger an invalid delegate results in undefined behavior.

Parameters

args	Arguments to use to invoke the underlying function.

Returns: The value returned by the underlying function.

Definition at line 260 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ operator==()

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

bool entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::operator== ( const delegate< Ret(Args...)> & other ) const

inlinenoexcept

Compares the contents of two delegates.

Parameters

other Delegate with which to compare.

Returns: False if the two contents differ, true otherwise.

Definition at line 279 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ reset()

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

void entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::reset ( )

inlinenoexcept

Resets a delegate.

After a reset, a delegate cannot be invoked anymore.

Definition at line 227 of file delegate.hpp.

◆ target()

template<typename Ret , typename... Args>

function_type * entt::delegate< Ret(Args...)>::target ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns a pointer to the stored callable function target, if any.

Returns: An opaque pointer to the stored callable function target.
