|
|
This section describes a few supporting tools written as part of ['Boost.Convert] but which might be useful in their own rights.
|
|
|
|
[section boost::cnv::range]
|
|
|
|
['boost::cnv::range] is a consolidation of the [begin, end)-based ranges (such as ['std::string]) and the sentry-based ranges (such as null-terminated C-style strings). It allows universal traversal of both types of ranges with
|
|
|
|
for (auto s = range.begin(); s != range.sentry(); ++s)
|
|
|
|
without the penalty or the need for an extra traversal of the sentry-based ranges in order to find the end.

[section BOOST_DECLARE_HAS_MEMBER]
|
|
|
|
The BOOST_DECLARE_HAS_MEMBER macro allows to declare a trait which would then let introspect the existence of a class member (a data member or a member function) with the specified name.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following declarations introduce `local::has_begin` and `local::has_funop` traits which then allow to test if the supplied class has respectively `begin` and `operator()` members:
|
|
|
|
[has_member_declaration]
|
|
|
|
Now these traits can be used as follows:
|
|
|
|
[has_member_classes_tested]
|
|
[has_member_usage]
|
|
|
|
As it can be seen from the example the traits only check for the existence of a member (be that a data member or a member function) with the specified name.

|
[section BOOST_DECLARE_IS_CALLABLE]
|
|
|
|
The BOOST_DECLARE_IS_CALLABLE macro extends the functionality provided by BOOST_DECLARE_HAS_MEMBER and allows to declare a trait which would then let introspect the existence of a named class member function ['callable with the supplied signature].
|
|
|
|
For example, the following declarations introduce `local::can_call_funop` and `local::can_call_func` traits:
|
|
|
|
[is_callable_declaration]
|
|
|
|
The traits allow to test if the supplied class has respectively `operator()` and `func()` member functions callable with the specified signature:
|
|
|
|
[is_callable_classes_tested]
|
|
[is_callable_usage1]
|
|
[is_callable_usage2]
|
|
|
|
As it can be seen from the example the traits check for the existence of a ['callable] member function but ['not necessarily of the specified signature]. Please check the ['Boost.TTI] library for the latter.
