Expand description

Helper for the generation of C headers.

Defining C headers requires two abstractions:

  • set-like lookup by name, to ensure each type is defined at most once;

  • a Writeable “out stream”, where the headers should be written to.

This trait minimally combines both abstractions, and in exchange offers an auto-implemented non-overridable Definer::define_once().

Required Methods

Must return true iff an actual insert happened.

Yields a handle to the underlying Writer

Provided Methods

Convenience method to perform an .insert() so that if it succeeds (thus guaranteeing the call happens for the first time), it calls write_typedef on itself.

This method cannot be overriden.
