Struct AbstractTypeRegistry 

pub struct AbstractTypeRegistry { /* private fields */ }

A registry of abstract type UUIDs used by graphix and graphix libraries, along with a string tag describing what the type is. We must do this because you can’t register different type ids with the same uuid in netidx’s abstract type system, and because abstract types often need to be parameterized by the Rt and UserEvent they will have different a different type id for each monomorphization, and thus they must have a different uuid.

The tag is necessary because non parameterized functions often end up with an abstract netidx type and want to know generally what it is, for example printing functions.

Implementations

impl AbstractTypeRegistry

pub fn tag(a: &Abstract) -> Option<&'static str>

return the tag of this abstract type, or None if it isn’t registered

pub fn is_a(a: &Abstract, tag: &str) -> bool

return true if the abstract type has tag

Trait Implementations

impl Default for AbstractTypeRegistry

fn default() -> AbstractTypeRegistry

Returns the “default value” for a type.
