4.3.1.10 Example

Here is a complete working example. It implements a shared class that has a base and an embedded interface.

These are the interface files for the ‘iDog’ interface (the base interface of our class) and the ‘iName’ interface (the interface embedded into our class).

File: ‘idog.h’

 
#include "csutil/scf.h"

struct iDog : public virtual iBase
{
  SCF_INTERFACE(iDog, 0, 0, 1);
  virtual void Walk() = 0;
  virtual void Shout(char const* Message) = 0;
};

File: ‘iname.h’

 
#include "csutil/scf.h"

struct iName : public virtual iBase
{
  SCF_INTERFACE(iName, 0, 0, 1);
  virtual char const* GetName() = 0;
  virtual void SetName(char const*) = 0;
};

Now here is the implementation of a class for both of the mentioned interfaces:

File: ‘dog.cpp’

 
#include "crystalspace.h"
#include "idog.h"
#include "iname.h"

class csDog : public scfImplementation2<csDog,iDog,iName>
{
private:
  csString Name;

public:
  csDog(iBase* Parent);
  virtual ~csDog();

  // From iDog.
  virtual void Walk();
  virtual void Shout(char const*);

  // From iName.
  virtual char const* GetName();
  virtual void SetName(char const*);
};

//---------- Implementation ---------

SCF_IMPLEMENT_FACTORY(csDog)

csDog::csDog(iBase* Parent) : scfImplementationType (this, Parent),
  Name ("<noname>")
{
}

csDog::~csDog()
{
}

void csDog::Walk()
{
  printf("%s: I'm walking\n", Name.GetData());
}

void csDog::Shout(char const* Message)
{
  printf("I'm %s: shout, shout, %s\n", Name.GetData(), Message);
}

// iName interface for dog.

char const* csDog::GetName()
{
  return Name;
}

void csDog::SetName(char const* NewName)
{
  Name = NewName != 0 ? NewName : "";
}

Since this is a plugin module, it requires a meta-information resource. Here is the meta-information for the example plugin:

File: ‘dog.csplugin’

 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- dog.csplugin -->
<plugin>
  <scf>
    <classes>
      <class>
        <name>dog</name>
        <implementation>csDog</implementation>
        <description>A rather unusual dog</description>
      </class>
    </classes>
  </scf>
</plugin>

The above files should be built to get a plugin module named ‘dog.so’ (Unix) or ‘dog.dll’ (Windows). The plugin module will export the csDog_Create() function which is implemented by the SCF_IMPLEMENT_FACTORY() macro, and it will publish the meta-information contained in ‘dog.csplugin’.

Finally, here is the source code for a simple client application that uses the ‘csDog’ plugin.

File: ‘doggy.cpp’

 
#include <stdio.h>

#include "cssysdef.h"
#include "csutil/scf.h"
#include "csutil/cfgfile.h"
#include "idog.h"
#include "iname.h"

static void test_dog()
{
  csRef<iDog> dog = scfCreateInstance<iDog> ("csDog");
  if (!dog)
    fprintf(stderr, "No csDog shared class!\n");
  else
  {
    csRef<iName> name = scfQueryInterface<iName> (dog);
    if (!name)
      fprintf(stderr,
        "Dog does not support iName interface!\n");
    else
    {
      name->SetName("Droopy");
      dog->Walk();
      dog->Shout("hello!");
      printf("Dog's name is %s\n", name->GetName());
    }
  }
}

int main (int argc, char const* argv[])
{
  scfInitialize(argc, argv);
  test_dog();
  iSCF::SCF->Finish();
}
