After some feedback, I found a class registration method (in glue
and in
examples (TestPlugin))
However, I don't know what they want in the
"initializer"/"deinitializer"
field of the class registration structure, since there are no
examples.
MyClass::MyClass() {foo(); etc...} is my constructor, I assume
that is
what is meant by an "initializer."
Since the class isn't instantiated, how do I fill in the field
that the
TestPlugin() has listed as NULL for the "initializer", er
"constructor" ?
The problem of compiling for Linux... is a separate problem than how
to write a class.
I suggest you approach each problem separately. Use the class examples
on the Mac. And once you know what to do, copy/paste those examples
into the Linux project.
Also, it's probably a bad idea to mix C++ classes with RB classes. You
should write in C mode. That is, no C++ constructors for your actual
class. Although an RB class can make use of C++ classes if they are
created with new and delete and stored as properties of the RB class.
Here's some of my "init/deinit" code.
void ED_St_Constructor( OPObject self ) {
FuzzySettings* fz = GetSettingsData(self);
fz->GapStartCost = 1;
fz->GapStretchCost = 1;
fz->Mode = kFuzzLevenshtein;
fz->self = self;
fz->MaxDepth = 1024;
FillDistances_( fz, false );
fzsSanity_( fz, false );
}
void ED_St_Destroy( OPObject self ) {
FuzzySettings* fz = GetSettingsData(self);
fzsSanity_( fz, true );
SentiFree( fz->Distances );
fz->Distances = 0;
OPClearRef( fz->Dictionary );
}
Unfortunately it uses totally different conventions :) OPObject is
just a REALobject, and I don't use the standard Object to struct
function, instead I write my own.
But you get the point, it's much the same as a normal method.
You don't NEED a init or deinit method because of RB itself. It's just
there if your plugin happens to need it, but RB doesn't force that
need on you.
