EasyDelegate library wiki

Problem

---

The standard language library provides a mechanism for storing functional objects in std::function<> and binding by the std tool::bind migrated from boost. This mechanism has some disadvantages, especially with passing std:: placeholder as parameters of std:: bind.

Why is it necessary

---

This library makes working with delegates much easier. It allows you to create functional objects in the same way as std::function, but changes the mechanism for binding a function to a functional object. The delegate is based on std::function, it performs all the main work. EasyDelegate is an abstraction over std::function and implements a different function binding mechanism.

Classes

• namespace EasyDelegate
  • class __Delegate
    Implementation of a simple delegate based on the std::function functionality from the c++ standard library. Allows you to implement a functional object of a class method or a static function for further invocation.
  • struct __DelegateAny
    • struct __DelegateType
  • struct __DelegateAnyCT
    Implementation of global compile-time delegates. Not working for now.
  • class __DelegateMulti
    Implementation of the ability to store multiple delegates with the same signature inside a single structure with a user-friendly interface.
  • struct __EnumeratorComp
    Default comparator for the installed numerator.
  • struct __SignatureDesc
    A helper template for dividing a signature into a return type and a list of argument types.
  • struct __SignatureDesc< _ReturnType(Args...)>
    Specialization of the helper template for separating the method signature into a return type and an argument type sheet.
