Re: [chuck-users] determining the type of an Object in code

Hi Tom, Github, yes. The fork is here: http://github.com/clembie/mc_chuck_dev/ I may make some other modifications. I'll publish those as well. The v2 folder is where you should build from. If getType() was stubbed out, then my guess is that we shouldn't mess with it. Perhaps we should change the name of this method to something else. getClass() maybe... -Mike On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 10:25 PM, Tom Lieber wrote:

I recently pulled from CVS and started fooling around and discovered a remarkably simple hack. There's a method in Object, toString(), which returns a string containing the class of the object as well as the reference ID. Like this (supposing a class called "Test"):

"Test:11ceff0"

There's also a stub in chuck_lang.cpp for a method getType(), which isn't implemented (yet). So, I copied the implementation of toString(), minus the printing of the reference ID, and placed it where the implementation of getType() should be. Now all objects (not UGens yet, although that would be sweet) respond to getType().

Haha, awesome! I guess if getType() is going to be something different you're a little screwed, but an interesting solution.

Do you have a GitHub account to publish this in a fork with? Not necessary, but even if you just clone it locally and make a branch on your computer, then it'll be easier to maintain the change as versions go by.
