daq::CoreType getItemType ( ) const

inline

In dict-type Argument Info, the type of each value in the <key, value> pairing corresponds to the item type.

getKeyType()

daq::CoreType getKeyType ( ) const

inline

Gets the key type of dict-type Argument Info objects. The item type specifies the type of keys in dictionary arguments.

Returns

The key type of the dictionary argument.

getName()

daq::StringPtr getName ( ) const

inline

Returns

The name of the argument.

getType()

daq::CoreType getType ( ) const

inline

Gets the core type of the argument.

Dictionary, List and Object types should be avoided in public function/procedure callable objects as their key, item, or base interface type cannot be determined without internal knowledge of the function/procedure.
