Detailed Description

RWInetAddrFactory is used by RWSockAddrFactory to create instances of RWInetAddr. It is not used directly by clients of the Networking classes. Only a single instance of RWInetAddrFactory exists, and it is created at the time the RWSockAddrFactory is constructed.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWInetAddrFactory()

RWInetAddrFactory::RWInetAddrFactory

(

)

Default constructor.

Note

This function creates a local RWInetAddrFactory instance. It does not instantiate the RWInetAddrFactory singleton and is not registered with the RWSockAddrFactory.

~RWInetAddrFactory()

virtual RWInetAddrFactory::~RWInetAddrFactory ( )

virtual

Virtual destructor.

Member Function Documentation

operator()() [1/3]

virtual RWSockAddrBase * RWInetAddrFactory::operator() ( const RWCString & ) const

virtual

Returns a pointer to an RWInetAddr instance constructed from from the provided RWCString.

The str parameter should be in the format described by the RWInetAddr::id() method and should contain only 7-bit US-ASCII data.

The newly created RWInetAddr is allocated on the heap. The caller is responsible for deleting it. Often, this is managed by wrapping the object using an RWSockAddr.

Implements RWSockAddrFactoryBase.

operator()() [2/3]

virtual RWSockAddrBase * RWInetAddrFactory::operator() ( struct sockaddr * addr, RWSockLenType addrLen ) const

virtual

Returns a pointer to an RWInetAddr instance constructed from the provided sockaddr structure and the given socket type.

The addr parameter is expected to point to an object that is compatible with sockaddr_in. The socket address family of addr is expected to be AF_INET.

The addrLen parameter is expected to describe the size, in bytes, of the object pointed to by addr.

The newly created RWInetAddr is allocated on the heap. The caller is responsible for deleting it. Often, this is managed by wrapping the object using an RWSockAddr.

Implements RWSockAddrFactoryBase.

operator()() [3/3]

virtual RWSockAddrBase * RWInetAddrFactory::operator() ( struct sockaddr * addr, RWSockLenType addrLen, int type ) const

virtual

Returns a pointer to an RWInetAddr instance constructed from the provided sockaddr structure and the given socket type.

The addr parameter is expected to point to an object that is compatible with sockaddr_in. The socket address family of addr is expected to be AF_INET.

The addrLen parameter is expected to describe the size, in bytes, of the object pointed to by addr.

The type parameter describes the type of socket address. This would normally be one of SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM.

The newly created RWInetAddr is allocated on the heap. The caller is responsible for deleting it. Often, this is managed by wrapping the object using an RWSockAddr.

Implements RWSockAddrFactoryBase.
