Detailed Description

Provides a container which may hold any type, and provides introspection and iteration over array types.

See VtIsArray for more info.

Held-type Conversion with VtValue::Cast

VtValue provides a suite of "Cast" methods that convert or create a VtValue holding a requested type (via template parameter, typeid, or type-matching to another VtValue) from the type of the currently-held value. Clients can add conversions between their own types using the RegisterCast(), RegisterSimpleCast(), and RegisterSimpleBidirectionalCast() methods. Conversions from plugins can be guaranteed to be registered before they are needed by registering them from within a

block.

Builtin Type Conversion

Conversions between most of the basic "value types" that are intrinsically convertible are builtin, including all numeric types (including Gf's half), std::string/TfToken, GfVec* (for vecs of the same dimension), and VtArray<T> for floating-point POD and GfVec of the preceding.

Numeric Conversion Safety

The conversions between all scalar numeric types are performed with range checks such as provided by boost::numeric_cast(), and will fail, returning an empty VtValue if the source value is out of range of the destination type.

Conversions between GfVec and other compound-numeric types provide no more or less safety or checking than the conversion constructors of the types themselves. This includes VtArray, even VtArray<T> for T in scalar types that are range-checked when held singly.

See Also
Held-type Conversion with VtValue::Cast

Definition at line 1232 of file value.h.

VT_API bool CanHash ( ) const

Return true if the held object provides a hash implementation.

static VtValue Cast ( VtValue const &  val)
inlinestatic

Return a VtValue holding val cast to hold T.

Return empty VtValue if cast fails.

This Cast() function is safe to call in multiple threads as it does not mutate the operant val.

See Also

Definition at line 1152 of file value.h.

VtValue& Cast ( )
inline

Return this holding value type cast to T.

This value is left empty if the cast fails.

Note
Since this method mutates this value, it is not safe to invoke on the same VtValue in multiple threads simultaneously.

static VT_API VtValue CastToTypeid ( VtValue const &  val,
std::type_info const &  type 
)
static

Return a VtValue holding val cast to type.

Return empty VtValue if cast fails.

This Cast() function is safe to call in multiple threads as it does not mutate the operant val.

See Also
Held-type Conversion with VtValue::Cast
VtValue& CastToTypeid ( std::type_info const &  type)

Return a VtValue holding val cast to same type that other is holding.

Return empty VtValue if cast fails.

This Cast() function is safe to call in multiple threads as it does not mutate the operant val.

See Also
Held-type Conversion with VtValue::Cast
VtValue& CastToTypeOf ( VtValue const &  other)
inline

Return this holding value type cast to same type that other is holding.

This value is left empty if the cast fails.

Note

T const& Get ( ) const
inline

Returns a const reference to the held object if the held object is of type T.

Issues an error and returns a const reference to a default value if the held object is not of type T. Use IsHolding to verify correct type before calling this function. The default value returned in case of type mismatch is constructed using Vt_DefaultValueFactory<T>. That may be specialized for client types. The default implementation of the default value factory produces a value-initialized T.

Definition at line 1101 of file value.h.

size_t GetArraySize ( ) const
inline

Return the number of elements in the held value if IsArrayValued(), return 0 otherwise.

Definition at line 1071 of file value.h.

VT_API std::type_info const& GetElementTypeid ( ) const

Return the typeid of elements in a array valued type.

If not holding an array valued type, return typeid(void).

VT_API size_t GetHash ( ) const

Return a hash code for the held object by calling VtHashValue() on it.

VT_API TfType GetType ( ) const

Returns the TfType of the type held by this value.

VT_API std::type_info const& GetTypeid ( ) const

Returns the typeid of the type held by this value.

VT_API std::string GetTypeName ( ) const

Return the type name of the held typeid.

T GetWithDefault ( T const &  def = T()) const
inline

Return a copy of the held object if the held object is of type T.

Return a copy of the default value def otherwise. Note that this always returns a copy, as opposed to Get() which always returns a reference.

Definition at line 1119 of file value.h.

VT_API bool IsArrayValued ( ) const

Returns true iff this is holding an array type (see VtIsArray<>).

bool IsEmpty ( ) const
inline

Returns true iff this value is empty.

Definition at line 1244 of file value.h.

bool IsHolding ( ) const
inline

Return true if this value is holding an object of type T, false otherwise.

Definition at line 1062 of file value.h.

VtValue& operator= ( VtValue const &  other)
inline

Copy assignment from another VtValue.

Definition at line 924 of file value.h.

VtValue& operator= ( VtValue &&  other)
inlinenoexcept

Move assignment from another VtValue.

Definition at line 931 of file value.h.

VtValue& operator= ( T const &  obj)

Assignment operator from any type.

VtValue& operator= ( char const *  cstr)
inline

Assigning a char const * gives a VtValue holding a std::string.

Definition at line 970 of file value.h.

VtValue& operator= ( char *  cstr)
inline

Assigning a char * gives a VtValue holding a std::string.

Definition at line 978 of file value.h.

bool operator== ( const VtValue rhs) const
inline

Test two values for equality.

Definition at line 1278 of file value.h.

static void RegisterCast ( VtValue(*)(VtValue const &)  castFn)
inlinestatic

Register a cast from VtValue holding From to VtValue holding To.

Definition at line 1125 of file value.h.

static void RegisterSimpleBidirectionalCast ( )
inlinestatic

Register a two-way cast from VtValue holding From to VtValue holding To.

Definition at line 1139 of file value.h.

static void RegisterSimpleCast ( )
inlinestatic

Register a simple cast from VtValue holding From to VtValue.

Definition at line 1132 of file value.h.

T Remove ( )
inline

Make this value empty and return the held T instance.

If this value does not hold a T instance, make this value empty and return a default-constructed T.

Definition at line 1041 of file value.h.

VtValue& Swap ( VtValue rhs)
inlinenoexcept

Swap this with rhs.

Definition at line 983 of file value.h.

void Swap ( T &  rhs)

Swap the held value with rhs. If this value is holding a T,.

static VtValue Take ( T &  obj)
inlinestatic

Create a new VtValue, taking its contents from obj.

This is equivalent to creating a VtValue holding a value-initialized T instance, then invoking swap(<held-value>, obj), leaving obj in a default-constructed (value-initialized) state. In the case that obj is expensive to copy, it may be significantly faster to use this idiom when obj need not retain its contents:

* MyExpensiveObject obj = CreateObject();
* return VtValue::Take(obj);
*

Rather than:

* MyExpensiveObject obj = CreateObject();
* return VtValue(obj);
*

Definition at line 914 of file value.h.

T const& UncheckedGet ( ) const
inline

Returns a const reference to the held object if the held object is of type T.

Invokes undefined behavior otherwise. This is the fastest Get() method to use after a successful IsHolding() check.

Definition at line 1090 of file value.h.

T UncheckedRemove ( )
inline

Make this value empty and return the held T instance.

If this value does not hold a T instance, this method invokes undefined behavior.

Definition at line 1052 of file value.h.

void UncheckedSwap ( T &  rhs)

Swap the held value with rhs.

This VtValue must be holding an object of type T. If it does not, this invokes undefined behavior. Use Swap() if this VtValue is not known to contain an object of type T.

void UncheckedSwap ( VtValue rhs)
inline

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Definition at line 1035 of file value.h.
