Constructor & Destructor Documentation

dds::core::xtypes::AliasType::AliasType	(	const std::string &	name,
		const DynamicTypeImpl &	related_type,
		bool	is_pointer = `false`
	)

Creates an alias with a name and a related type.

Parameters

name	The name of this alias
related_type	The aliased type
is_pointer	Whether this alias makes the type a pointer

For example, to create the following two IDL aliases:

typedef long my_long;

typedef long * my_long_ptr;

We can use the following code:

AliasType my_long("my_long", primitive_type<int32_t>());

AliasType my_long_ptr("my_long_ptr", primitive_type<int32_t>(), true);

const dds::core::xtypes::DynamicType& dds::core::xtypes::AliasType::related_type ( ) const

Gets the related type.

bool dds::core::xtypes::AliasType::is_pointer ( ) const

<<extension>> Gets whether this alias makes related_type a pointer.
