My problem is very specific. I have the following requirement, I need to set member variables that exist in child class from parent class, for several reasons. My plan is to pass a function pointer of the setter method (which exist in child class), that takes string as argument, to the parent class at construction. The parent class defines a public method that takes member name and value string as argument and invokes the function pointer of the member with value string. The parent class can exist in a dll or lib and have no access to any conversion or factory methods, so the setter method have to be defined in child class.
Since the parent can be a base class for other classes, i wrote some macros shown as below:
#define DEFINE_VAL(Type, memberName) \
private: \
Type memberName; \
void set##memberName(std::string const& val) { \
memberName = convert_to_val(val); /* this will be a call to factory which converts string to value type*/\
/* or call to local implementation for conversion*/
}; \
#define INIT_VAL(memberName) \
{ memberName, \
[&](std::string const& val) { set##memberName(val); }}
Parent and child classes are as below:
// parent.h probably in dll
class parent
{
public:
parent(std::map<std::string, std::function<void(std::string const&)>>& m)
: m(m)
{ }
...
private:
std::map<std::string, std::function<void(std::string const&)>> m;
};
// child.h
class child : public parent
{
public:
child() : parent({ INIT_VAL(iVal), ... })
{ }
private:
DEFINE_VAL(int, iVal);
...
};
The child class can have many variables defined and its a bit annoying to first use DEFINE_VAL macro and then pass each variable's setter method with INIT_VAL macro. Can this be done in one macro (probably in DEFINE_VAL)? or any ideas on automatic registration of member name and function pointer to parent class?
I would also appreciate any alternative ideas on accomplishing my requirement.
