// These templates are used to implement wxADD_FLAG macro below.
//
// The idea is that we want to trigger *compilation* error if the flags
// overlap, not just runtime assert failure. We can't implement the check
// using just a simple logical operation, we need checks equivalent to this
// code:
//
// mask = wxFLAG_1;
// assert( (mask & wxFLAG_2) == 0 ); // no overlap
// mask |= wxFLAG_3;
// assert( (mask & wxFLAG_3) == 0 ); // no overlap
// mask |= wxFLAG_3;
// ...
//
// This can be done at compilation time by using templates metaprogramming
// technique that makes the compiler carry on the computation.
//
// NB: If any of this doesn't compile with your compiler and would be too
// hard to make work, it's probably best to disable this code and replace
// the macros below with empty stubs, this isn't anything critical.
template<int val> struct FlagsHaveConflictingValues
{
// no value here - triggers compilation error
};
template<int val> struct FlagValue
{
enum { value = val };
};
// This template adds its template parameter integer 'add' to another integer
// 'all' and produces their OR-combination (all | add). The result is "stored"
// as constant SafelyAddToMask<>::value. Combination of many flags is achieved
// by chaining parameter lists: the 'add' parameter is value member of
// another (different) SafelyAddToMask<> instantiation.
template<int all, int add> struct SafelyAddToMask
{
// This typedefs ensures that no flags in the list conflict. If there's
// any overlap between the already constructed part of the mask ('all')
// and the value being added to it ('add'), the test that is wxIf<>'s
// first parameter will be non-zero and so Added value will be
// FlagsHaveConflictingValues<add>. The next statement will try to use
// AddedValue::value, but there's no such thing in
// FlagsHaveConflictingValues<> and so compilation will fail.
typedef typename wxIf<(all & add) == 0,
FlagValue<add>,
FlagsHaveConflictingValues<add> >::value
AddedValue;
enum { value = all | AddedValue::value };
};
} // wxPrivate namespace
// This macro is used to ensure that no two flags that can be combined in
// the same integer value have overlapping bits. This is sometimes not entirely
// trivial to ensure, for example in wxWindow styles or flags for wxSizerItem
// that span several enums, some of them used for multiple purposes.
//
// By constructing allowed flags mask using wxADD_FLAG macro and then using
// this mask to check flags passed as arguments, you can ensure that
//
// a) if any of the allowed flags overlap, you will get compilation error
// b) if invalid flag is used, there will be an assert at runtime
//
// Example usage:
//
// static const int SIZER_FLAGS_MASK =
// wxADD_FLAG(wxCENTRE,
// wxADD_FLAG(wxHORIZONTAL,
// wxADD_FLAG(wxVERTICAL,
// ...
// 0))...);
//
// And wherever flags are used:
//
// wxASSERT_VALID_FLAG( m_flag, SIZER_FLAGS_MASK );
#define wxADD_FLAG(f, others) \
