polymorphism

[DerSemjon]

Hello, i'd like to use tinybind for polymorphistic classes. I dont get how the INHERIT(X) or the STRUCT_INHERIT(X) works. Is there any example ?

Hi, try example 2 https://github.com/tyt2y3/tinybind/blob/master/examples/2_svg.h though polymorphism is about functionality, not about data. so it should work. Edit, the definition of STRUCT_INHERIT(TYPE, ...) has a va_args, so the following trick should work too:

STRUCT_INHERIT(C, public A, B)
{
    INHERIT(A);
    INHERIT(B);
};

Hello Chris, thanks for your reply. Is there a way to utilize vectors of pointers as CHILD elements ? Gretes, Semjon

I am not sure what do you mean by that. Why would you use a pointer in an object for serialization. You can theoretically write a custom binding function for that, e.g.

template <class P>
void TXB_attr_bind( TiXmlElement* xmle, bool from, P* attr_content, const char* attr_name)

where P is you pointer.

But you will need to think about circular reference or objects with too deep nesting
