Detailed Description

C++ class wrapper for struct ::sockaddr from sys/socket.h.

This is a C++ wrapper for the sockaddr structure that the connect, and bind system calls take. It includes a virtual 'Copy' method to clone copies when you don't know the actual type of the address.

Definition at line 80 of file SocketAddress.h.

Member Function Documentation

virtual int strmod::ehnet::SocketAddress::AreYouA (  const lcore::ClassIdent &    cid )  const [inline, virtual]

Asks if a class is of a particular type, or publicly derived from that type. Overriden in every derived class (with a static identifier member) to compare against the identifier, then call the AreYouA methods of all the superclasses. Parameters: cid  Usually <class>::identifier for the class you want to ask if the object is an instance of. Reimplemented from strmod::lcore::Protocol. Definition at line 90 of file SocketAddress.h.

SocketAddress* strmod::ehnet::SocketAddress::Copy (    )  const [inline]

Clone this address, no matter it's actual type. This is a non-virtual for compilers that don't support contravariance in the return types of virtual functions. Reimplemented in strmod::ehnet::InetAddress. Definition at line 104 of file SocketAddress.h.

virtual const lcore::ClassIdent* strmod::ehnet::SocketAddress::i_GetIdent (    )  const [inline, protected, virtual]

Returns the class identifier for the class the object actually is. Should always be overridden in any class that has a static identifier member. Reimplemented from strmod::lcore::Protocol. Reimplemented in strmod::ehnet::InetAddress. Definition at line 111 of file SocketAddress.h.

Member Data Documentation

const NET_ClassIdent strmod::ehnet::SocketAddress::identifier [static]

Globally unique identifier for this class. Every class that might need to be identified should have a public static const identifier object in it. Reimplemented from strmod::lcore::Protocol. Reimplemented in strmod::ehnet::InetAddress.
