StringMetadata

class StringMetadata : public HPS::Metadata

The StringMetadata class is a smart pointer. It represents a piece of string Metadata.

Public Functions

UTF8 GetValue() const

Gets the string value for this StringMetadata.

Returns:

The string value for this StringMetadata.

inline virtual HPS::Type ObjectType() const

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).

Returns:

The declared type of the object in question, which may differ from the true, underlying type.

StringMetadata &operator=(StringMetadata &&in_that)

The move assignment operator transfers the underlying object of the rvalue reference to this StringMetadata.

Parameters:

in_that – An rvalue reference to a StringMetadata to take the underlying object from.

Returns:

A reference to this StringMetadata.

void SetValue(char const *in_value)

Sets the string value for this StringMetadata.

Parameters:

in_value – The UTF8-encoded string value for this StringMetadata.

StringMetadata()

The default constructor creates an uninitialized StringMetadata object. The Type() function will return Type::None.

StringMetadata(char const *in_name, char const *in_value)

This constructor creates a StringMetadata with a given name and value.

Parameters:
StringMetadata(Metadata const &in_that)

This constructor creates a StringMetadata object that shares the underlying smart-pointer of the source Metadata. The copy will only be successful if the source component is really an upcast of a StringMetadata object. Otherwise the copy will fail and the resulting StringMetadata will be invalid.

Parameters:

in_that – The source Metadata to copy.

StringMetadata(StringMetadata &&in_that)

The move constructor creates a StringMetadata by transferring the underlying object of the rvalue reference to this StringMetadata.

Parameters:

in_that – An rvalue reference to a StringMetadata to take the underlying object from.

StringMetadata(StringMetadata const &in_that)

The copy constructor creates a StringMetadata object that shares the underlying smart-pointer of the source StringMetadata.

Parameters:

in_that – The source StringMetadata to copy.
