BloombergLP::bdlat_TypeName

Name

Description

className

Return a null‐terminated string containing the exported name for the specified TYPE, or a 0 pointer if TYPE does not export a name. A type exports a name by overloading the function bdlat_TypeName_className(const TYPE&) in TYPE's namespace. The default implementation of bdlat_TypeName_className will automatically return the CLASS_NAME value for types that have the bdlat_TypeTraitBasicChoice, bdlat_TypeTraitBasicSequence, bdlat_TypeTraitBasicCustomizedType, or bdlat_TypeTraitBasicEnumeration trait (i.e., types generated using bas_codegen.pl).

name

Return a null‐terminated string containing the name of the specified TYPE. If TYPE is a fundamental type, string, date, time, or datetime, then return a canonical representation of the type's name. Otherwise, if className applied to the specified object returns a non‐null value, then return that value. Otherwise, return typeid(TYPE).name(). Note that the returned name refers to the static TYPE, not to the dynamic type of object.

xsdName

Return a null‐terminated text string containing the name of the specified TYPE with the specified format as it would appear in an XML Schema (XSD) element declaration. The format is interpreted as the bit‐wise OR of one or more of the values defined in the bdlat_formattingmode component. Formatting mode bits outside of bdlat_FormattingMode::TYPE_MASK are ignored. If the specified object corresponds to one of the XSD built‐in types, then return the XSD type's name. Otherwise, if className(object) returns a non‐null value, then return that value. Otherwise, return "anyType". The behavior is undefined unless the format is valid for the specified TYPE.
