CppVariant also provides a number of 11 convenience constructors and accessors, so that the NPVariantType values 12 don't need to be exposed, and a destructor to free any memory allocated for 13 string values. 14 15 For a usage example, see cpp_binding_example.{h|cc}. 16 */ 17 18 #ifndef WEBKIT_GLUE_CPP_VARIANT_H__ 19 #define WEBKIT_GLUE_CPP_VARIANT_H__ 20 21 #include <string> 22 #include <vector> 23 24 #include "base/basictypes.h" 25 #include "third_party/npapi/bindings/npruntime.h" 26 27 class CppVariant : public NPVariant { 28 public: 29 CppVariant(); 30 ~CppVariant(); 31 void SetNull(); 32 void Set(bool value); 33 void Set(int32_t value); 34 void Set(double value); 35 36 // Note that setting a CppVariant to a string value involves copying the 37 // string data, which must be freed with a call to FreeData() when the 38 // CppVariant is set to a different value or is no longer needed.
