Detailed Description
Class representing general ML objects that support import/export via strings (setPersistentState() and getPersistentState()) or arbitrary tree structures (using addStateToTree() and readStateFromTree()).Objects of class Base
- can be represented using the field concept (class
BaseField) - provide an interface to allow the import/export of a persistent representation of an object's internal state.
Remark: This class is base class for Module and all derived modules.

Member Function Documentation
| virtual void ml::Base::addStateToTree | ( | TreeNode * | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
| virtual void ml::Base::clearPersistentState | ( | char * | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
Disposes a string previously allocated by getPersistentState().
| virtual Base* ml::Base::deepCopy | ( | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
| virtual char* ml::Base::getPersistentState | ( | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
Returns a C string describing the object's internal state.
The memory for the string will be allocated here and has to be deallocated using clearPersistentState().
| bool ml::Base::isOfAllowedType | ( | const std::vector< const RuntimeType * > & | types | ) | const |
Check if this object's type is equal to or derived from one of the types given in the argument.
This method will also return true if the vector is empty, since this denotes that any type is allowed.
| virtual bool ml::Base::isRefCountedBase | ( | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
| ml::Base::ML_SET_ADDSTATE_VERSION | ( | 0 | ) |
Set addStateToTree version number that can be accessed via getAddStateVersion().
| virtual void ml::Base::readStateFromTree | ( | TreeNode * | ) | [inline, virtual] |
| virtual void ml::Base::setPersistentState | ( | const char * | ) | [inline, virtual] |
Restores the object's internal state from a string that had been previously generated using getPersistentState().
