GCC supported C++ extensible hook system. Providing an implementation for generic delegates and the handling of these as associative events. Designed as a C++ equivalent to the hook functionality found in Garry's Mod.
Why use an event/hook system? It decouples and simplifies code complexity while promoting modular characteristics. Another defining benefit is enabling developers the ability to provide version redundant compatibility. Any event may be overwritten, replaced, disabled, aliased and invoked.
##Methods
###Events
| Statement | Return Type |
|---|---|
| events.create(eventName, eventId = 0) | Event& |
| events.get(eventName or eventId) | Event& |
| events.exists(eventName or eventId) | bool |
###Event
| Statement | Return Type |
|---|---|
| event(name = "") | constructor |
| event.hasName(name_t name) | bool |
| event.getNames() | const list<name_t>& |
| event.add(name, funct, append = true) | void |
| event.replace(name, funct) | void |
| event.exists(name) | bool |
| event.remove(name) | bool |
| event.clear(eventName or eventId) | void |
##Example
#include <iostream>
#include "Events.h"
using namespace std;
...
bool CanPrint1(int a)
{
cout << "Test 1 " << a << endl;
return true;
}
bool CanPrint2(int a)
{
cout << "Test 2 " << a << endl;
return true;
}
...
Events::event_t& event = Events.create("CAN_CLIENT_CONNECT", Events::CAN_CLIENT_CONNECT);
Events.exists("CAN_CLIENT_CONNECT");
Events.get(Events::CAN_CLIENT_CONNECT);
event.add("test1", (void*)CanPrint1);
event.add("test2", (void*)CanPrint2);
if (event.call(5))
cout << "Can Print" << endl;
event.remove("test2");
event.exists("test3");
event.clear();
event.disabled = false;
event.replace("test1", Test2);*
