Provides a variable class with weak type.

varobject's Issues

Advice needed

Hey.

Im trying to write a class that interfaces a scripting language's dynamic typing - but I am terribly stuck. x)

Appearently, in C++, I can not define multiple functions that differ only in their return type but otherwise have the same declaration.

And, I also can't seem to create a private subclass that I could return, that then could have operators to cast into the specified types. It just does not really want to work.

So I'd like to know if you could give me a tipp on doing that?

Here's some information about the scripting language I am trying to interface:

• It has a stack-based VM
• Values, except NULL, boolean and numbers, are idendified with an ID that can be obtained (getValueId(int offset))
• Values can be retained and put into the stack by their ID.
• Available types are: NULL, Bool, Number (int, float), String (Object: "string"), Array, Object, Function
• There are methods such as toString(), toBool(), etc.

It's here: https://github.com/unitpoint/objectscript

I mainly want to do that, in order to be able to create a reference to a scirpted function, so I could store it. Actually, Im using VarObject in the same project already that I want to use the script-type interface at.

So if you have any tipp for this, it'd be nice to learn about it =)

Kind regards,
Ingwie
