Hello.
I'm having problems with boost::signal. I have a simple callback
system:
typedef boost::signal StringCallbacks;
TSharedPtr<StringCallbacks> stringCallbacks;
stringCallbacks contains void (Const String &) -callback functions.
New callback functions are registered into the callback system with
registerCallback -function:
template<class VarType> class SettingUpdater {
private:
VarType & reference;
SettingUpdater(VarType & var) : reference(var) { }
public:
void operator()(const String & setting)
{
// do someting irrelevant for the question here
// with the reference -variable
}
};
boost::signals::connection registerCallback(StringCallbacks::slot_type callback)
{
// PROBLEM: I'd like to call the callback once without calling every callback
// which are possibly registered already into the signal before this.
// Register the new callback into the signal.
return stringCallbacks.get()->connect(callback);
}
The actual usage of registerCallback:
int localVariable;
registerCallback(SettingUpdater<int>(localVariable));
Question:
As you might already see above, I'd like to call the callback function
once in the registerCallback function without calling every callback
already registered in the stringCallbacks signal.
I first tried something like
String param = "foo";
callback(param);
but that won't compile.
I also tried callback.get_slot_function()(param);
That compiles, but it won't execute the operator() -function in SettingUpdater.
Calling the signal will execute all callbacks registered, so the SettingUpdater
function seems working. How I can execute the operator() function
in SettingUpdater<> inside registerCallback function by the
callback parameter passed to registerCallback function?
Thanks in advance =)
