💖 SbTypeInfo 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to SbTypeInfo, a whole type information library for Coin types and their relations ✨ she lives in section 3 of the manual (that's the library-functions girlies, iykyk) and she is so helpful once you get what she's doing.

🌸 NAME 🌸

SbTypeInfo — a type information library for Coin types and their relations.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Inventor/SbTypeInfo.h>

🦋 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 🦋

a type information library for Coin types and their relations. periodt.

SbTypeInfo<> makes it possible to write generic code using Coin types that is able to adjust itself to the parameter types used 💅 like, the code just knows what you handed it and adapts accordingly, no drama.

Usually you would be able to do that quite easily if the Sb-classes had been template classes of Type and Dimension arguments. but they're not 🙈 and that's the whole situation. This type library makes it possible to work around that lack of genericity by looking up type relationships instead. lowkey genius, highkey iconic.

Certain inside types of SbTypeInfo<> are always defined. Others will only be defined if the template argument type is of certain characteristics. so like, some of them are always in the group chat and some of them only show up when the vibe check passes, fr fr.

Here's the inside types she wants you to know about:

  • Type — this is the type the SbTypeInfo<>-specialization is for. It is always defined. she's the main character, obviously 👑
  • ParamType — a type deemed to be efficient for function parameter transfer. It is always defined too 🎀
If the type is a primitive type that has

...and that's literally where the sentence stops 😭 not me leaving you on a cliffhanger. that's how it is in the source, bestie, I'm just the messenger 🫶
