Detailed Description

template<typename DiscriminatorType, typename StringType, typename TypeCodeType>
class TAO::TypeCode::Case_T< DiscriminatorType, StringType, TypeCodeType >

Representation of an OMG IDL defined union case.

A Case_T contains the corresponding case label value, name and pointer to the CORBA::TypeCode for a given OMG IDL union case. For example, the cases in following OMG IDL union:

   union Foo switch (short)
   {
     case 0:
     case 1:  short a;
     case 2:  long  b;
     default: octet c;
   };

would be represented using the following statically instantiated TAO::TypeCode::Case_T array:

   typedef TAO::TypeCode::Case_T<CORBA::Short, char const *> Foo_Case;
   Foo_Case _tao_cases_Foo[] =
     {
       Foo_Case (0, "a", &CORBA::_tc_short),
       Foo_Case (1, "a", &CORBA::_tc_short),
       Foo_Case (2, "b", &CORBA::_tc_long),
       Foo_Case (0, "c", &CORBA::_tc_octet)
     };

The default index is passed directly to the TAO::TypeCode::Union constructor.

The template parameter DISCRIMINATOR_TYPE is the corresponding C++ type for the IDL defined union discriminator type. For example, a union with an IDL short discriminator will have a corresponding CORBA::Short C++ type. This template parameter is necessary to allow the actual case label value to be stored as its actual type, which is particularly important when marshaling that value into a CDR stream.

The template parameter StringType is either char const * or CORBA::String_var. The latter is only used when creating CORBA::tk_union TypeCode dynamically, such as through the TypeCodeFactory.

template<typename DiscriminatorType , typename StringType , typename TypeCodeType >

TAO::TypeCode::Case< StringType, TypeCodeType > * TAO::TypeCode::Case_T< DiscriminatorType, StringType, TypeCodeType >::clone

(

void

)

const [virtual]

Cloning/copying operation.

Implements TAO::TypeCode::Case< StringType, TypeCodeType >.

template<typename DiscriminatorType , typename StringType , typename TypeCodeType >

bool TAO::TypeCode::Case_T< DiscriminatorType, StringType, TypeCodeType >::equal_label	(	CORBA::ULong	index,
		CORBA::TypeCode_ptr	tc
	)		const [virtual]

Verify equality of member labels.

Performing member label equality comparisons in the Case subclass allows us to avoid performing interpretive extraction of the value from the Any returned from the "right hand side" operand TypeCode since the Case subclass already knows what type and value should be extracted from the Any.

Parameters:

index	Member index of given TypeCode tc being tested.
tc	The TypeCode whose member "@a index" label is being tested.

Implements TAO::TypeCode::Case< StringType, TypeCodeType >.

template<typename DiscriminatorType , typename StringType , typename TypeCodeType >

CORBA::Any * TAO::TypeCode::Case_T< DiscriminatorType, StringType, TypeCodeType >::label

)

const [virtual]

Return the IDL union case label value embedded within a CORBA::Any.

Implements TAO::TypeCode::Case< StringType, TypeCodeType >.

bool TAO::TypeCode::Case_T< DiscriminatorType, StringType, TypeCodeType >::marshal_label

)

const [virtual]

Marshal the IDL union case label value into the given output CDR stream.

Implements TAO::TypeCode::Case< StringType, TypeCodeType >.
