Member Function Documentation

void Messaging::MessageWriter::WriteMessage ( const Ptr< Message > &  msg  ) 

write a complete message to the stream

Writes a complete message to the stream. First the FourCC class id of the message will be written, then the message will be asked to write its own data to the stream.

const Ptr< Stream > & IO::StreamWriter::GetStream (  )  const [inherited]

get currently set stream

Get pointer to the attached stream. If there is no stream attached, an assertion will be thrown. Use HasStream() to determine if a stream is attached.

bool IO::StreamWriter::HasStream (  )  const [inherited]

return true if a stream is set

Returns true if a stream is attached to the writer.

int Core::RefCounted::GetRefCount (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the current refcount

Return the current refcount of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::AddRef (  )  [inline, inherited]

increment refcount by one

Increment the refcount of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::Release (  )  [inline, inherited]

decrement refcount and destroy object if refcount is zero

Decrement the refcount and destroy object if refcount is zero.

const Util::String & Core::RefCounted::GetClassName (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the class name

Get the class name of the object.

Util::FourCC Core::RefCounted::GetClassFourCC (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the class FourCC code

Get the class FourCC of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::DumpRefCountingLeaks (  )  [static, inherited]

dump refcounting leaks, call at end of application (NEBULA3_DEBUG builds only!)

This method should be called as the very last before an application exits.
