Changes to the Reflex API moving from SEAL to ROOT
==================================================
General remarks:
----------------
.) Namespace change:
The SEAL version lives in namespace "seal::reflex" the ROOT version in namespace "ROOT::Reflex"
.) Function names:
The first letter of all function names is upper case. Further changes to function names are
mentioned below.
.) Iterating over containers:
Every container provides stl like iterators which are encouraged to use. The functions provided are
- _Begin()
- _End()
- _RBegin()
- _REnd()
for each possible container type a forward and reverse iterator type is provided. These types are:
- Type
- Base
- Scope
- Object
- Member
- TypeTemplate
- MemberTemplate
- StdString
e.g. "Type_Iterator" and "Reverse_Type_Iterator"
example: the container of sub types in class Scope provides
- Type_Iterator SubType_Begin() const;
- Type_Iterator SubType_End() const;
- Reverse_Type_Iterator SubType_RBegin() const;
- Reverse_Type_Iterator SubType_REnd() const;
in addition the "old" style iteration is provided
- the getter for a specific containee is appended with "At" (e.g. "SubTypeAt")
- the getter for the size changed from "Count" to "Size" (e.g. "SubTypeSize")
.) New iterator functions for parameter names and defaults for FunctionMembers, TypeTemplates and
MemberTemplates
.) Functions for lookup of data/function members by name have changed from "function/dataMember"
to "Function/DataMemberByName" and "member" to "memberByName"
.) The function to get the length of an array has changed from "length" to "ArrayLength"
.) The following functions have been removed from Object
- invokeT - use "invoke" together with object cast instead
- setT - use "set" instead
- getT - use "get" together with "Object_Cast" instead
- field - use "get" instead
.) The function "scope" was removed from the "Type" and "Member" classes. Use function
"DeclaringScope" instead which provides the same functionality

2005-10-31 Stefan
* added stl like iterators for all containers of Types, Scopes, Members, etc. The following
iterators have been introduced: type_iterator, base_iterator, scope_iterator, object_iterator
member_iterator, typeTemplate_iterator, memberTemplate_iterator and their reverse typese
(e.g. reverse_type_iterator). Every container for one of these types contains now the
functions begin(), end(), rbegin() and rend() (e.g. Type::dataMember_begin()) which return
a (reverse_)iterator.
2005-10-10 Pere
* fixed ProperyList::propertyAsString(key) to return a empty string when the key is not
existing (reported by RD Schaffer). Added test case in test_Reflex_unit.
2005-09-16 Stefan
* changes for invocation of overloaded methods. The "invoke" function takes an
additional argument of type "const Type &" which represents the type of the overloaded
function. If function methods are overloaded and no Type is passed the first one is taken.
* Object.h: the following functions are deprecated and will be removed in a future release
invokeT, getT, setT, field (explanations what functions to use instead are given in the header)
* moving makeVector utility from TypeBuilder.h to Tools.h
2005-09-01 Stefan
* added selection functionality from within c++, credits to Scott Snyder (snyder@fnal.gov)
2005-08-26 Stefan
* TypeBase.cpp: change allocate to malloc(size), deallocate to free(instance),
when destructing and operator delete called no deallocation necessary
2005-08-20 Stefan
* adding parameter "signature" for member lookup by name
* adding function dataMember(const std::string&) for data member lookup by name
* adding function functionMember(const std::string&, const std::string&="") for
function member lookup by name (and optionally signature)
* a signature can be passed optionally with the function name argument to invoke
functions of Object. separated by semi-colon (e.g. "foo;int (void)")
2005-07-27 Stefan
* Object.h: added function destruct(), fixes for templated get, invoke functions
2005-07-05 Stefan
* Class.cpp: when destructing a type which has no destructor defined (e.g. for complex types with
only simple members), instead of invoking the destructor stub, call operator delete and free
2005-07-04 Stefan
* Member : added functions declaringScope, declaringType which return the Scope/Type
the members lives in (i.e. the same)
* Member : function scope will be depricated, use declaringScope instead (same functionality)

2005-05-25 Stefan

2005-05-20 Stefan
* Scope/Type(Name).h: new function "const char* name_c_str() const" which
returns the char* to the unqualified name (performance reasons)
* bool isClass() checks now for class/instantiated class/struct types
* Type/Scope(Name).h: contain a vector of Types/Scopes which allows non
mutable access to Types/Scopes by number (will not change) with
Type::type(size_t) or Scope::scope(size_t)
