//
//      Define the delegate storage, and cope with static functions
//

// DelegateMemento -- an opaque structure which can hold an arbitary delegate.
// It knows nothing about the calling convention or number of arguments used by
// the function pointed to.
// It supplies comparison operators so that it can be stored in STL collections.
// It cannot be set to anything other than null, nor invoked directly: 
//   it must be converted to a specific delegate.

// Implementation:
// There are two possible implementations: the Safe method and the Evil method.
//                              DelegateMemento - Safe version
//
// This implementation is standard-compliant, but a bit tricky.
// A static function pointer is stored inside the class. 
// Here are the valid values:
// +-- Static pointer --+--pThis --+-- pMemFunc-+-- Meaning------+
// |   0                                |  0       |   0        | Empty          |
// |   !=0              |(dontcare)|  Invoker   | Static function|
// |   0                |  !=0     |  !=0*      | Method call    |
// +--------------------+----------+------------+----------------+
//  * For Metrowerks, this can be 0. (first virtual function in a 
//       single_inheritance class).
// When stored stored inside a specific delegate, the 'dontcare' entries are replaced
// with a reference to the delegate itself. This complicates the = and == operators
// for the delegate class.

//                              DelegateMemento - Evil version
//
// For compilers where data pointers are at least as big as code pointers, it is 
// possible to store the function pointer in the this pointer, using another 
// horrible_cast. In this case the DelegateMemento implementation is simple:
// +--pThis --+-- pMemFunc-+-- Meaning---------------------+
// |    0     |  0         | Empty                         |
// |  !=0     |  !=0*      | Static function or method call|
// +----------+------------+-------------------------------+
//  * For Metrowerks, this can be 0. (first virtual function in a 
//       single_inheritance class).
// Note that the Sun C++ and MSVC documentation explicitly state that they 
// support static_cast between void * and function pointers.

//                              Wrapper classes to ensure type safety
//


// Once we have the member function conversion templates, it's easy to make the
// wrapper classes. So that they will work with as many compilers as possible, 
// the classes are of the form
//   delegate3<int, char *, double>
// They can cope with any combination of parameters. The max number of parameters
// allowed is 8, but it is trivial to increase this limit.
// Note that we need to treat const member functions seperately.
// All this class does is to enforce type safety, and invoke the delegate with
// the correct list of parameters.

// Because of the weird rule about the class of derived member function pointers,
// you sometimes need to apply a downcast to the 'this' pointer.
// This is the reason for the use of "implicit_cast<X*>(pthis)" in the code below. 
// If CDerivedClass is derived from CBaseClass, but doesn't override SimpleVirtualFunction,
// without this trick you'd need to write:
//              MyDelegate(static_cast<CBaseClass *>(&d), &CDerivedClass::SimpleVirtualFunction);
// but with the trick you can write
//              MyDelegate(&d, &CDerivedClass::SimpleVirtualFunction);

// RetType is the type the compiler uses in compiling the template. For VC6,
// it cannot be void. DesiredRetType is the real type which is returned from
// all of the functions. It can be void.

// Implicit conversion to "bool" is achieved using the safe_bool idiom,
// using member data pointers (MDP). This allows "if (dg)..." syntax
// Because some compilers (eg codeplay) don't have a unique value for a zero
// MDP, an extra padding member is added to the SafeBool struct.
// Some compilers (eg VC6) won't implicitly convert from 0 to an MDP, so
// in that case the static function constructor is not made explicit; this
// allows "if (dg==0) ..." to compile.
