Detailed Description

template<typename Derived>
class Raven::Castable< Derived >

CRTP base class enabling self-casting in derived types.

This class provides the As<T>() method for derived classes, enabling safe casting within a CRTP hierarchy.

Typical usage:

1. Derive from Castable<T> to enable self-casting in your class.
2. Use As<T>() to safely cast an object of type Derived to T.

Template Parameters

Derived

The derived class using this CRTP base class.

Member Function Documentation

As() [1/2]

template<typename Derived>

template<typename T>
requires std::derived_from<T, Derived>

T & Raven::Castable< Derived >::As ( )

inline

Non-const version of As<T>(), for casting to a non-const target type.

This method is used for casting a Derived type to another type T, and allows modification of the casted object.

Template Parameters

T	The target type to cast to.

Returns

A reference to the casted object of type T.

As() [2/2]

template<typename Derived>

template<typename T>
requires std::derived_from<T, Derived>

const T & Raven::Castable< Derived >::As ( ) const

inline

Const version of As<T>(), for casting to a const target type.

This method is used for casting a Derived type to another type T, and ensures the casted object remains constant.

Template Parameters

T	The target type to cast to.

Returns

A const reference to the casted object of type T.
