30 :
31 : This template is useful to accomplish the following task: the
32 : client needs an implementation pointer to an object providing
33 : UNO interfaces. It is unsafe to simply store a C++ pointer,
34 : because of the automatic UNO lifetime control. It is
35 : inconvenient to always cast the UNO interface to the C++
36 : implementation, and what's more, it's mostly unclear to the
37 : casual code reader.
38 :
39 : Thus, this template nicely encapsulate the stated intention,
40 : by holding a uno::Reference internally, and providing simple
41 : C++ pointer semantics to the outside. As a differentiator to
42 : ::rtl::Reference, this template features a getRef() method,
43 : giving you friction-less access to the internal UNO interface,
44 : without extra querying.
45 :
46 : By the way, the pointer semantic of this template include
47 : transitive constness. That means, if this template's instance
48 : is const (e.g. because it is a member of a class which is
49 : accessed in a const method), the pointer returned is also
50 : const.
51 :
52 : As this template is geared towards fast, internal pointer
53 : access, validity of the UNO reference is _not_ checked for
54 : every pointer access. The client of this template is
55 : responsible to check that, whereever necessary, via the is()
56 : method.
57 :
58 : @tpl CppType
59 : The C++ type this class should mimick a pointer to (not the
60 : pointer type itself!).
61 :
62 : @tpl UnoType
63 : The UNO interface type of the object (a uno::Reference to this
64 : type is held internally).
65 :
66 : @tpl XIfType
67 : An unambiguous derivative of UnoType. This is defaulted to
68 : the second template parameter (UnoType), which should normally
69 : just work, since one typically has only single inheritance in
70 : UNO.<p>
71 : Alternatively, when using the
72 : ImplementationReference::createFromQuery() method to create an
73 : instance, this type can serve a different need: if the
74 : provided CppType only derives from XInterface (generally
75 : speaking, derives from a UNO interface above UnoType in the
76 : class hierarchy), then the default XIfType constitutes a
77 : possibly invalid downcast to UnoType. Setting XIfType equal to
78 : CppTypes's most derived UNO interface type then solves this
79 : problem (which is not as arcane as it seems to be. Just
80 : imagine you're providing a C++ abstract interface, which must
81 : provide UNO reference semantics. Naturally, you will derive
82 : this C++ interface only from XInterface, to reduce the number
83 : of ambiguous classes. Even more naturally, it is reasonable to
84 : have UnoType be something different from XInterface, governed
85 : by the usage of the C++ interface)
