< p > DF structures described by the xml files in library/xml are exported
to lua code as a tree of objects and functions under the < tt class = "docutils literal" > df< / tt > global,
which broadly maps to the < tt class = "docutils literal" > df< / tt > namespace in C++.< / p >
< p > < strong > WARNING< / strong > : The wrapper provides almost raw access to the memory
of the game, so mistakes in manipulating objects are as likely to
crash the game as equivalent plain C++ code would be. E.g. NULL
pointer access is safely detected, but dangling pointers aren't.< / p >
< p > Objects managed by the wrapper can be broadly classified into the following groups:< / p >
< ol class = "arabic" >
< li > < p class = "first" > Typed object pointers (references).< / p >

< / li >
< li > < p class = "first" > Untyped pointers< / p >
< p > Represented as lightuserdata.< / p >
< p > In assignment to a pointer NULL can be represented either as
< tt class = "docutils literal" > nil< / tt > , or a NULL lightuserdata; reading a NULL pointer field
returns < tt class = "docutils literal" > nil< / tt > .< / p >
< / li >
< li > < p class = "first" > Named types< / p >
< p > Objects in the < tt class = "docutils literal" > df< / tt > tree that represent identity of struct, class,
enum and bitfield types. They host nested named types, static
methods, builtin properties & methods, and, for enums and bitfields,
the bi-directional mapping between key names and values.< / p >
< / li >
< li > < p class = "first" > The < tt class = "docutils literal" > global< / tt > object< / p >
< p > < tt class = "docutils literal" > df.global< / tt > corresponds to the < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > df::global< / span > < / tt > namespace, and
behaves as a mix between a named type and a reference, containing
both nested types and fields corresponding to global symbols.< / p >
< / li >
< / ol >
< p > In addition to the < tt class = "docutils literal" > global< / tt > object and top-level types the < tt class = "docutils literal" > df< / tt >

2012-04-04 18:42:08 -06:00
< p > Primitive typed fields, i.e. numbers & strings, are converted
to/from matching lua values. The value of a pointer is a reference
to the target, or nil/NULL. Complex types are represented by
a reference to the field within the structure; unless recursive
lua table assignment is used, such fields can only be read.< / p >
< p > < strong > NOTE:< / strong > In case of inheritance, < em > superclass< / em > fields have precedence
2012-04-04 18:39:38 -06:00

be accessed as < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > ref['subclasstype.field']< / span > < / tt > .
This shadowing order is necessary because vtable-based classes
2012-04-04 18:39:38 -06:00
are automatically exposed in their exact type, and the reverse
rule would make access to superclass fields unreliable.< / p >

< div class = "section" id = "recursive-table-assignment" >
< h2 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id9" > Recursive table assignment< / a > < / h2 >
< p > Recursive assignment is invoked when a lua table is assigned
to a C++ object or field, i.e. one of:< / p >
< ul class = "simple" >
< li > < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > ref:assign{...}< / span > < / tt > < / li >
< li > < tt class = "docutils literal" > ref.field = < span class = "pre" > {...}< / span > < / tt > < / li >
< / ul >
< p > The general mode of operation is that all fields of the table
are assigned to the fields of the target structure, roughly
emulating the following code:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
function rec_assign(ref,table)
for key,value in pairs(table) do
ref[key] = value
end
end
< / pre >
< p > Since assigning a table to a field using = invokes the same
process, it is recursive.< / p >
< p > There are however some variations to this process depending
on the type of the field being assigned to:< / p >
< ol class = "arabic" >
< li > < p class = "first" > If the table contains an < tt class = "docutils literal" > assign< / tt > field, it is
applied first, using the < tt class = "docutils literal" > ref:assign(value)< / tt > method.
It is never assigned as a usual field.< / p >
< / li >
< li > < p class = "first" > When a table is assigned to a non-NULL pointer field
using the < tt class = "docutils literal" > ref.field = < span class = "pre" > {...}< / span > < / tt > syntax, it is applied
to the target of the pointer instead.< / p >
< p > If the pointer is NULL, the table is checked for a < tt class = "docutils literal" > new< / tt > field:< / p >
< ol class = "loweralpha simple" >
< li > If it is < em > nil< / em > or < em > false< / em > , assignment fails with an error.< / li >
< li > If it is < em > true< / em > , the pointer is initialized with a newly
allocated object of the declared target type of the pointer.< / li >
< li > Otherwise, < tt class = "docutils literal" > table.new< / tt > must be a named type, or an
object of a type compatible with the pointer. The pointer
is initialized with the result of calling < tt class = "docutils literal" > table.new:new()< / tt > .< / li >
< / ol >
< p > After this auto-vivification process, assignment proceeds
as if the pointer wasn't NULL.< / p >
< p > Obviously, the < tt class = "docutils literal" > new< / tt > field inside the table is always skipped
during the actual per-field assignment processing.< / p >
< / li >
< li > < p class = "first" > If the target of the assignment is a container, a separate
rule set is used:< / p >
< ol class = "loweralpha" >
< li > < p class = "first" > If the table contains neither < tt class = "docutils literal" > assign< / tt > nor < tt class = "docutils literal" > resize< / tt >
fields, it is interpreted as an ordinary < em > 1-based< / em > lua
array. The container is resized to the #-size of the
table, and elements are assigned in numeric order:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
ref:resize(#table);
for i=1,#table do ref[i-1] = table[i] end
< / pre >
< / li >
< li > < p class = "first" > Otherwise, < tt class = "docutils literal" > resize< / tt > must be < em > true< / em > , < em > false< / em > , or
an explicit number. If it is not false, the container
is resized. After that the usual struct-like 'pairs'
assignment is performed.< / p >
< p > In case < tt class = "docutils literal" > resize< / tt > is < em > true< / em > , the size is computed
by scanning the table for the largest numeric key.< / p >
< / li >
< / ol >
< p > This means that in order to reassign only one element of
a container using this system, it is necessary to use:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
{ resize=false, [idx]=value }
< / pre >
< / li >
< / ol >
< p > Since nil inside a table is indistinguishable from missing key,
it is necessary to use < tt class = "docutils literal" > df.NULL< / tt > as a null pointer value.< / p >
< p > This system is intended as a way to define a nested object
tree using pure lua data structures, and then materialize it in
C++ memory in one go. Note that if pointer auto-vivification
is used, an error in the middle of the recursive walk would
not destroy any objects allocated in this way, so the user
should be prepared to catch the error and do the necessary
cleanup.< / p >
