ph::common::object_base Class Reference

#include <object.hpp>

Inheritance diagram for ph::common::object_base:

Detailed Description

Abstract class representing an object which contains various interfaces used in persistance, reflection, and patterns.

None of these interfaces are mandatory, so it is up to the systems using them to test for the interface before using it, and gracefully fail if not found.
