Indexed Properties
Jancy also supports indexed properties, which are properties with array semantics. Accessors for such properties accept additional index arguments, but unlike a real array index, a property index doesn’t have to be of the integer type, nor does it mean index exclusively – it is up to the developer how to use it.
Simple indexed property declaration syntax:
int g_x [2];
int indexed property g_simpleProp (unsigned i);
// here the index argument is really used as the array index
int g_simpleProp.get (unsigned i)
{
return g_x [i];
}
g_simpleProp.set (
unsigned i,
int x
)
{
g_x [i] = x;
}
A similar property declared using full syntax:
property g_prop
{
int m_x [2] [2];
// more than one index argument could be used
int get (
unsigned i,
unsigned j
)
{
return m_x [i] [j];
}
set (
unsigned i,
unsigned j,
int x
)
{
m_x [i] [j] = x;
}
// setters of indexed property can be overloaded
set (
unsigned i,
unsigned j,
double x
)
{
m_x [i] [j] = (int) x;
}
}
Accessing indexed properties looks like accessing arrays
int indexed property g_prop (
unsigned i,
unsigned j
);
foo ()
{
int value = g_prop [10] [20];
// ...
g_prop [30] [40] = 100;
// ...
}
