vrpn_BaseClass.h

/** @file vrpn_BaseClass.h

  All types of client/server/peer objects in VRPN should be derived from the
  vrpn_BaseClass type described here.  This includes Tracker, Button, Analog,
  Clock, Dial, ForceDevice, Sound, and Text; it should include any user-defined
  objects as well.

  This class both implements code that will be shared by most (if not all)
  objects in the system and forms a skeleton for the definition of new objects
  by requiring certain virtual member functions to be defined.

  See the VRPN web pages or another simple type (such as vrpn_Analog) for an
  example of how to create a new VRPN object type using this as a base class.

Answer to the question:
   "Why is there both a UNIQUE and NON-UNIQUE base class?",
   or
   "Why can't everything from vrpn_BaseClass be moved into
vrpn_BaseClassUnique?"

   The first reason is that removing vrpn_BaseClass would require the
   vrpn_BaseClassUnique constructor to take a name and connection object as
   parameters, which would cause some problems due to the way virtual base
   classes are implemented in C++.

   Any class that inherits from a virtual base (either directly or several
   generations removed) must provide an explicit call to the constructor
   of the virtual base.  This is done because the virtual base constructor
   is invoked from the very first class in the constructor chain.

   Take for example vrpn_Tng3, which inherits vrpn_Button and vrpn_Serial_Analog
   (and thus vrpn_Analog).  Creating a new instance of a vrpn_Tng3 object will
   call the constructors in this order:
       Tng3
       BaseClassUnique  (because it is a virtual base)
       Button
       BaseClass   (coming from Button)
       Serial_Analog
       Analog
       BaseClass   (coming from Analog)

   Right now, BaseClassUnique's constructor has no parameters.  So the
   Tng3 constructor does not have to explicitly invoke BaseClassUnique, although
   implicitly it will call BaseClassUnique's 0-parameter constructor before
   doing anything else.  But if BaseClass is eliminated, then BaseClassUnique's
   constructor must do the work of creating the connection and copying the
   service name.  So BaseClassUnique's constructor must now take a couple
   parameters, which means that every class (including Tng3, Button, Analog, and
Serial_Analog) would have to explicitly name the constructor for BaseClassUnique
in the code and specify parameters for connection and service-name, even though
only one such call to the BaseClassUnique's constructor would ever actually
occur at runtime (that of Tng3 since it's located at the lowest level of the
family tree; the rest of the calls would be ignored).  This would mean inserting
"vrpn_BaseClassUnique(name,connection)" into the initializer section of every
constructor in *every* class under the BaseClassUnique subtree.

   The second reason we have both a unique and non-unique base class is that
   the "register_types" virtual function must be called several times for
   multiply-inherited devices, with a different virtual target in each case.
   Presently, register_types() is called from vrpn_BaseClass::init().
   init() may be called multiple times using a different vftable entry for
   register_types() each time (e.g. for the Tng3 it will refer once to
   vrpn_Analog::register_types() and once to vrpn_Button::register_types()).
   Both init() and the pure-virtual declaration of register_types() are found
   in BaseClass.  Moving init() up into BaseClassUnique instead of BaseClass
   means that register_types() would have to move up as well.  And if
   register_types() is declared in the virtual base class, BaseClassUnique,
   it can only have one virtual target.

   So it might appear that vrpn_BaseClass has no data members and would
   therefore be easy to eliminate.  However it actually does have a data
   member: the vftable entry for "register_types".  And this data member
   *must* be duplicated in the case of multiply-inherited device because a
   single object will need several distinct virtual targets for
   "register_types".
