Public Functions
-
void
Assign(HPS.Metadata in_that) Share the underlying smart-pointer of the Metadata source.
Param in_that: The Metadata source of the assignment. Return: A reference to this Metadata.
-
override void
Dispose()
-
bool
Equals(HPS.Metadata in_that) Check if the source Metadata points to the same underlying impl as this Metadata.
Param in_that: The source Metadata to compare to this Metadata. Return: true if the objects reference the same impl, false otherwise.
-
override bool
Equals(Object obj)
-
override int
GetHashCode()
-
Metadata() The default constructor creates an uninitialized Metadata object. The Type() function will return Type.None.
-
Metadata(HPS.Metadata in_that) The copy constructor creates a Metadata object that shares the underlying smart-pointer of the source Metadata.
Param in_that: The source Metadata to copy.
-
Metadata(string in_name) This constructor creates a Metadata with a given name.
Param in_name: The UTF8-encoded name for this Metadata.
-
override HPS.Type
ObjectType() This function returns the type the object, as declared (if the object is derived, this does not give the true type of the derived object).
Return: The declared type of the object in question, which may differ from the true, underlying type.
