Enhance Interface Pointers #487

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Hiding the interface pointers behind an interface wrapper is actually a very 
important change which will make BWAPI appear more professional.

Similar to the current Game wrapper that overloads operator <<, the base 
wrapper will overload operator -> and store the pointer to the interface object.

A simple typedef would probably be the easiest way to hide the pointers for now 
while maintaining the same functionality.

It will be the simplest to implement right now.

It really doesn't matter if it still resolves to a pointer, just getting rid of 
the * is good enough, and if necessary we can enhance it later by replacing the 
typedef with a formal class.

For bot developers, you simply need to "Find and Replace In Files"

"Unit*" -> "Unit"
"Unit *" -> "Unit"

Will do the trick.

Game/Broodwar already has its own interface wrapper for the operator << 
overload.

Make interface pointers non-typedef.
