Detailed Description

Class for automatically registering extension points to the decompiler.

This uses the C++ static initializer feature to automatically discover and register extension point. Code for an extension should provide a class that derives from CapabilityPoint and overrides the initialize() method. Additionally there should be a singleton static instantiation of this extension class. The extensions are accumulated in a list automatically, then the decompiler engine will ensure that the initialize() method is called on each extension, allowing it to complete its integration.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CapabilityPoint::CapabilityPoint ( void )

protected

Construct extension capability exactly once.

Constructing the object automatically registers it. For global instances, this happens during static initialization

References getList().

Member Function Documentation

vector< CapabilityPoint * > & CapabilityPoint::getList ( void )

staticprivate

Retrieve the list of extension point singletons.

Access static vector of CapabilityPoint objects that are registered during static initialization The list itself is created once on the first call to this method after all the static initializers have run
