qi::AnyFunction

This class is a type-erased pointer to a function. It has value semantics.

Detailed Description

It is possible to create a qi::AnyFunction from any functor (including boost::function). By using fromDynamicFunction, you can provide a “variadic” function that will receive a vector of references to its arguments.

qi::AnyFunction freeFunc = qi::AnyFunction::from(someFunc);
qi::AnyFunction memberFunc = qi::AnyFunction::from(Class::func, myObj);
// if you use boost::bind or qi::bind, you must explicitly cast to the right
// signature
qi::AnyFunction memberFunc = qi::AnyFunction::from(
    boost::function<int(int value1, const std::string& value2)>(
      boost::bind(someFunc, _1, "argument")));

You can then call the function with a vector of arguments or by giving the arguments as in a normal function call.

Warning

The caller is responsible for destroying its qi::AnyReference to the returned value when using type-erased calls. You can store the returned reference in a qi::AnyValue to benefit from RAII destruction.

// typed call
int value = func.call<int>(42);

// using operator()
qi::AnyValue ret(func(42), false, true);
std::cout << ret.toInt() << std::endl;

// type-erased call
qi::AnyReferenceVector args;
args.push_back(qi::AnyReference::from(42));
ret.reset(func.call(args), false, true);
