Detailed Description

template<typename R, typename... UArgs>
class ns3::Callback< R, UArgs >

Callback template class.

This class template implements the Functor Design Pattern. It is used to declare the type of a Callback:

• the first non-optional template argument represents the return type of the callback.
• the remaining (optional) template arguments represent the type of the subsequent arguments to the callback.

Callback instances are built with the MakeCallback template functions. Callback instances have POD semantics: the memory they allocate is managed automatically, without user intervention which allows you to pass around Callback instances by value.

Sample code which shows how to use this class template as well as the function templates MakeCallback :

Internal:

This code was originally written based on the techniques described in http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/TTLFunction.asp It was subsequently rewritten to follow the architecture outlined in "Modern C++ Design" by Andrei Alexandrescu in chapter 5, "Generalized Functors".

This code uses:

• default template parameters to saves users from having to specify empty parameters when the number of parameters is smaller than the maximum supported number
• the pimpl idiom: the Callback class is passed around by value and delegates the crux of the work to its pimpl pointer.
• a reference list implementation to implement the Callback's value semantics.

This code most notably departs from the alexandrescu implementation in that it does not use type lists to specify and pass around the types of the callback arguments. Of course, it also does not use copy-destruction semantics and relies on a reference list rather than autoPtr to hold the pointer.
