Macro Definition Documentation

◆ IID

#define IID   "IidManager"
Internal:
IidManager shorthand for use in NS_LOG

Definition at line 374 of file type-id.cc.

◆ IIDL

#define IIDL   IID << ": "
Internal:
IidManager shorthand for use in NS_LOG

Definition at line 380 of file type-id.cc.

◆ NS_OBJECT_ENSURE_REGISTERED

#define NS_OBJECT_ENSURE_REGISTERED (   type)
Value:
static struct Object ## type ## RegistrationClass \
{ \
Object ## type ## RegistrationClass () { \
ns3::TypeId tid = type::GetTypeId (); \
tid.SetSize (sizeof (type)); \
tid.GetParent (); \
} \
} Object ## type ## RegistrationVariable

Register an Object subclass with the TypeId system.

This macro should be invoked once for every class which defines a new GetTypeId method.

If the class is in a namespace, then the macro call should also be in the namespace.

Definition at line 45 of file object-base.h.

◆ NS_OBJECT_TEMPLATE_CLASS_DEFINE

#define NS_OBJECT_TEMPLATE_CLASS_DEFINE (   type,
  param 
)
Value:
template class type<param>; \
template <> std::string DoGetTypeParamName<type<param> > () \
{ \
return #param; \
} \
static struct Object ## type ## param ## RegistrationClass \
{ \
Object ## type ## param ## RegistrationClass () { \
ns3::TypeId tid = type<param>::GetTypeId (); \
tid.SetSize (sizeof (type<param>)); \
tid.GetParent (); \
} \
} Object ## type ## param ## RegistrationVariable

Explicitly instantiate a template class and register the resulting instance with the TypeId system.

This macro should be invoked once for every required instance of a template class which derives from the Object class and defines a new GetTypeId method.

If the template class is in a namespace, then the macro call should also be in the namespace.

Definition at line 67 of file object-base.h.

Function Documentation

◆ CreateObject()

template<typename T , typename... Args>
Ptr<T> ns3::CreateObject ( Args &&...  args)

Create an object by type, with varying number of constructor parameters.

Template Parameters
T[explicit] The type of the derived object to construct.
Parameters
[in]argsArguments to pass to the constructor.
Returns
The derived object.

◆ CreateObjectWithAttributes()

template<typename T , typename... Args>
Ptr< T > ns3::CreateObjectWithAttributes ( Args...  args)

Allocate an Object on the heap and initialize with a set of attributes.

Template Parameters
T[explicit] The requested Object type.
Args[deduced] The type of the sequence of name-value pairs.
Parameters
[in]argsA sequence of name-value pairs of the attributes to set.
Returns
A pointer to a newly allocated object.

The args sequence can be made of any number of pairs, each consisting of a name (of std::string type) followed by a value (of const AttributeValue & type).
