Implementations

impl FunctionVirtualTranslator

pub fn from_virtual_function(function: &Function, class_name: &str) -> Self

Translates the intermediate form of a parsed function into the elements ready-to-use in the C++ code generation process. It prepares code for a C++ virtual method declaration and extern “C” function that calls the virtual method. Due to this, Rust code can call virtual C++ methods like trait functions.

Pseudocode:

Rust Trait { method_a(); }

C++ Class { virtual method_a(); }

extern “C” __method_a(C++Class* obj) { obj->method_a(); }

pub fn generate_virtual_declaration(self) -> String

Generates a virtual function declaration that can be used within a class declaration.

pub fn generate_virtual_definition(self) -> String

Generates an extern function that calls the virtual method on a dynamic C++ object that can be mapped to some Rust trait object.
