Field Documentation

const char* BBTypeKeyInfo::ident

The identifier of the type.

This contains a human readable string with the BlitzMax name of the type.

void* BBTypeKeyInfo::init

The value to which each uninitialized instance should be set.

This can be a simple value '0' or one of the built-in object type NULL pointers.

BBSize BBTypeKeyInfo::size

The size of one instance in bytes.

Basically this is just the value of 'sizeof ($DATATYPE)' stored. It can be used for allocating structures able to store different type values quickly.
