possible to turn bbGCNode * into class decl

[codifiesParticipant]

if I have a bbGCNode* is it possible to find out if it is for a class and then if so get the decl info so I can call a method ?

this possibly confused code is how far I have got…

name=Unknown@6391376 where as p->typeName is as expected…. ???

Monkey

bbTypeInfo* typ=bbGetType(p); if (typ!=0) { printf("name=%s\n",typ->name.c_str()); if (strncmp(p->typeName(),"t_", 2)==0) { // TODO must be a better way!? bbDeclInfo* dcl=typ->getDecl(bbString(L"myMethod",8)); if (dcl!=0) { printf("found myMethod\n"); } else { printf("couldn't find myMethod\n"); } } } else { printf("couldn't get type\n"); }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

bbTypeInfo* typ=bbGetType(p);                     if (typ!=0) {             printf("name=%s\n",typ->name.c_str());             if (strncmp(p->typeName(),"t_", 2)==0) {     // TODO must be a better way!?                 bbDeclInfo* dcl=typ->getDecl(bbString(L"myMethod",8));                 if (dcl!=0) {                     printf("found myMethod\n");                 } else {                     printf("couldn't find myMethod\n");                 }             }         } else {             printf("couldn't get type\n");         }

What the hell are you trying to do?!?

[codifiesParticipant]

call something if bbGCNode* points to a class with a specific method

What are you trying to achieve though? There may be an easier way to do it without reflection, or it could be done on the monkey2 side etc…

I’m wanting to see if a class contains a method and then call it from bbGC.cpp’s

void destroy( bbGCNode *p )

[codifiesParticipant]

only need to test for and execute (if it exists) one fixed prototype say:

OnDestroy:Void()

[codifiesParticipant]

guessing you don’t approve of finalisers then? pity would be handy to clean up none GC resources…
