-----------------------------------
Summary: c++: refactor and documentation of type conversions
Key: PROTON-1094
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1094
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cpp-binding
Affects Versions: 0.11.1
Reporter: Alan Conway
Assignee: Alan Conway
Fix For: 0.12.0
Original design was to use stream operator << >> interface to proton::data to
give complete flexibility to construct/interpret arbitrary AMQP types in a
usable, idiomatic C++ way.
This interface is important internally but most API users will use automatic
conversion via assignment, construction and get<T>() functions on proton::value
and the proton::scalar types.
Move detailed documentation for the type conversion rules to proton::value, and
mark the data interface as "advanced" but leave it available to cover possible
interop cases that are not covered by the existing "canned" conversions.
Review proton::message constructors, assignment and documentation to make sure
it is easy to understand how to use data-containing members of a message.
