walker::DiffEq class

Differential equation.

Contents

This class uses runtime polymorphism without client-side inheritance: inheritance is confined to the internals of the this class, invisible to client-code. The class exclusively deals with ownership enabling client-side value semantics.

Function documentation

template<typename T>
walker::DiffEq::DiffEq(T x) explicit

Constructor taking an object modeling Concept.

Parameters
x in Instantiated object of type T given by the template argument.

The object of class T comes pre-constructed.

template<typename T, typename... Args>
walker::DiffEq::DiffEq(std::function<T(Args...)> x, Args&&... args) explicit

Constructor taking a function pointer to a constructor of an object modeling Concept.

Parameters
x in Function pointer to a constructor of an object modeling Concept.
args in Zero or more constructor arguments

Passing std::function allows late execution of the constructor, i.e., as late as inside this class' constructor, and thus usage from a factory. Note that there are at least two different ways of using this constructor:

  • Bind T's constructor arguments and place it in std::function<T()> and passing no arguments as args.... This case then instantiates the model via its constructor and stores it in here.

  • Bind a single placeholder argument to T's constructor and pass it in as host's args..., which then forwards it to model's constructor. This allows late binding, i.e., binding the argument only here.
