Components that are bundled to an Aggregate can be "cast" to each other and have a coupled life cycle. See the documentation of Aggregate for details and examples. */ /*! \class Aggregation::Aggregate \mainclass \threadsafe \brief Defines a collection of related components that can be viewed as a unit. An Aggregate is a collection of components that are handled as a unit, such that each component exposes the properties and behavior of the other components in the Aggregate to the outside. Specifically that means: \list \o They can be "cast" to each other (using query and query_all methods). \o Their life cycle is coupled, i.e. whenever one is deleted all of them are. \endlist Components can be of any QObject derived type. You can use an Aggregate to simulate multiple inheritance by aggregation. Assume we have \code using namespace Aggregation; class MyInterface : public QObject { ........ }; class MyInterfaceEx : public QObject { ........ }; [...] MyInterface *object = new MyInterface; // this is single inheritance \endcode The query method works like a qobject_cast with normal objects: \code Q_ASSERT(query(object) == object); Q_ASSERT(query(object) == 0); \endcode If we want 'object' to also implement the class MyInterfaceEx, but don't want to or cannot use multiple inheritance, we can do it at any point using an Aggregate: \code MyInterfaceEx *objectEx = new MyInterfaceEx; Aggregate *aggregate = new Aggregate; aggregate->add(object); aggregate->add(objectEx); \endcode The Aggregate bundles the two objects together. If we have any part of the collection we get all parts: \code Q_ASSERT(query(object) == object); Q_ASSERT(query(object) == objectEx); Q_ASSERT(query(objectEx) == object); Q_ASSERT(query(objectEx) == objectEx); \endcode The following deletes all three: object, objectEx and aggregate: \code delete objectEx; // or delete object; // or delete aggregate; \endcode Aggregation aware code never uses qobject_cast, but always uses Aggregation::query which behaves like a qobject_cast as a fallback. */ /*! \fn T *Aggregate::component() Template method that returns the component with the given type, if there is one.
