MatchEvent
The C++ Build Insights SDK is compatible with Visual Studio 2017 and later. To see the documentation for these versions, set the Visual Studio Version selector control for this article to Visual Studio 2017 or later. It's found at the top of the table of contents on this page.
The MatchEvent
function is used to match an event against a list of event types. If the event matches a type in the list, it's forwarded to a handler for further processing.
Syntax
template <
typename TEvent,
typename... TEvents,
typename TCallable,
typename... TExtraArgs>
bool MatchEvent(
const RawEvent& event,
TCallable&& callable,
TExtraArgs&&... extraArgs);
Parameters
TEvent
The first event type that you wish to match.
TEvents
The remaining event types that you wish to match.
TCallable
A type that supports operator()
. For more information on which arguments get passed to this operator, see the callable parameter description.
TExtraArgs
The types of the extra arguments that were passed to MatchEvent
.
event
The event to match against the event types described by TEvent and TEvents.
callable
MatchEvent
invokes callable after successfully matching the event with any of the event types described by TEvent and TEvents. The first argument passed to callable is an r-value of the matched event type. The extraArgs parameter pack is perfect-forwarded in the remaining parameters of callable.
extraArgs
The arguments that get perfect-forwarded to callable along with the matched event type.
Return Value
A bool
value that's true
if matching was successful, or false
otherwise.
Remarks
Event types to use for the TEvent and TEvents parameters are selected from a list of capture classes. For a list of events and the capture classes you can use to match them, see event table.
Example
void MyClass::OnStartActivity(const EventStack& eventStack)
{
// Let's assume eventStack contains:
// [Compiler, BackEndPass, C2DLL, CodeGeneration, Thread, Function]
auto& functionEvent = eventStack.Back(); // The Function event
bool b1 = MatchEvent<Function, Thread>(
functionEvent, [](auto matchedEvent){ /* Do something... */});
bool b2 = MatchEvent<CodeGeneration, Thread>(
functionEvent, [](auto matchedEvent){ /* Do something... */});
// b1: true because the list of types contains Function, which is
// the type of the event we are trying to match.
// b2: false because the list of types doesn't contain Function.
