xtd::box< type_t > Struct Template Reference

Inheritance diagram for xtd::box< type_t >:

Definition

template<class type_t>
struct xtd::box< type_t >

Represents a boxed object.

template<class type_t>
struct box : xtd::object, xtd::icomparable<box<type_t>>, xtd::iequatable<box<type_t>>, xtd::iformatable;

Inheritance

xtd::object → xtd::box <type_t>

Implements

xtd::icomparable <>, xtd::iequatable <>

Header

#include <xtd/box>

Namespace

xtd

Library

xtd.core

Remarks

You can use xtd::box to represent a class or structure that does not inherit from xtd::object. Typically used for integral types.

Use xtd::boxing to box an object.

Use xtd::unboxing to unbox an object.

The boxed object must implement operator == and operator < because a xtd::box implement xtd::icomparable and xtd::iequatable interfaces.

For more information about types, see Native types, boxing and unboxing.

Examples

The following example shows how to create and use xtd::box<bool>.

auto stringer = [](const object& value) {return value.to_string();};
bool unboxed_object = true;
box<bool> boxed_object = unboxed_bool;
auto result = stringer(boxed_object);
console::write_line("result = {}", result); // Display: result = true;
