synMacros.h

Macros for runtime synObject typing.

DEFINE_CLASS_ID

This macro should be used in one source file for every derived class

IS_OF_TYPE

Returns 1 if obj belongs to the specified class (or derived class, if derivedOk is 1

MAKE_COVER_FUNCTIONS

creates runtime typing methods for non-abstract classes derived from synObject.

MAKE_ABSTRACT_COVER_FUNCTIONS

creates runtime typing methods for abstract base classes derived from synObject.

MAKE_COVER_FUNCTIONS_NO_CONS

creates runtime typing methods for non-abstract classes derived from synObject.

DECLARE_PARENT_CLASS

Macro for runtime inheritance queries.

DECLARE_PARENT_CLASSES

Like DECLARE_PARENT_CLASS, but for classes that use multiple inheritance from 2 base classes.

DECLARE_PARENT_CLASSES3

Like DECLARE_PARENT_CLASS, but for classes that use multiple inheritance from 3 base classes.

Macros for interface with synDB database

Macros for defining objects with "recycled memory"

MAKE_C_DB_COVER

This macro makes a C cover function for the initializeUserEvalDB or initializeUserPMDB functions, which are used by Darwin2K as entry points for runtime libraries.

Subclasses of synObject that need runtime typing should use the DEFINE_CLASS_ID, DECLARE_PARENT_CLASS*, and MAKE_COVER_FUNCTIONS macros. See the individual macro descriptions for examples.
