Functions Summary

CopyObject	Copies an Object of any type.
CopyObjectTree	Copies an Object of any type and its children.
IntToObject	Converts Int to Object.
ObjectToInt	Converts any Object type to Int.
ObjectToPtr	Converts any Object type to Byte Ptr (doing this implicitly in BlitzMax gives you the same pointer + 8 byte)

Functions

Function CopyObject:Object(x:Object)
Returns	Flat Copy of x.
Description	Copies an Object of any type.
Information	Copy an Object of any type. This will copy references as they are. So references in the copied instance will point at the same structures as references from the source instance.

Function CopyObjectTree:Object(x:Object)
Returns	Recursive Copy of x.
Description	Copies an Object of any type and its children.
Information	This function copies a whole instance recursively and tries to avoid copying child objects more than once. It parses the debug_scope which is a structure that saves all names of fields, methods etc., their types and offset. Pointers are treated like primitives. Arrays they might point to are not copied.

Function IntToObject:Object(x:Int)
Returns	x as Object.
Description	Converts Int to Object.

Function ObjectToInt:Int(x:Object)
Returns	x as Integer.
Description	Converts any Object type to Int.

Function ObjectToPtr:Byte Ptr(x:Object)
Returns	Pointer to x.
Description	Converts any Object type to Byte Ptr (doing this implicitly in BlitzMax gives you the same pointer + 8 byte)

Function PtrToObject:Object(x:Byte Ptr)
Returns	Object from x.
Description	Converts Byte Ptr to Object (impossible in BlitzMax)

Functions Summary
Create	Creates an ObjectEx from an Object instance of any type.

Field ident:TMap
Description	ident saves all Identifiers of the Type (Const, Field, Method,

Field name:String
Description	Name of the Type that the ObjectEx represents.

Field size
Description	size represents the size of an instance of the Type the ObjectEx was.

Method Constants:ObjectExIdent[]()
Returns	Array of ObjectExIdent of all Constants.
Description	Search all Constants.

Method Fields:ObjectExIdent[]()
Returns	Array of ObjectExIdent of all Fields.
Description	Search all Fields.

Method Functions:ObjectExIdent[]()
Returns	Array of ObjectExIdent of all Functions.
Description	Search all Functions.

Method Get(o:Object, name:String)
Returns	Value of the specific Field the ObjectExIdent represents.
Description	Get the value of a Field.

Method GetConstValue:String(o:Object, name:String)
Returns	Value of the specific Constant the ObjectExIdent represents.
Description	Get the value of a Constant.

Method GetDouble:Double(o:Object, name:String)
Returns	Value of the specific Field the ObjectExIdent represents.

Method Methods:ObjectExIdent[]()
Returns	Array of ObjectExIdent of all Methods.
Description	Search all Methods.

Method Set(o:Object, name:String, val)
Description	Set the value of a Field.
Information	Set the value of the Field the ObjectExIdent represents. This function takes an integer value, but by using ObjectToInt you can also store Types, Arrays and Strings. For 64 bit and floating point types you will need the functions below.

Method SetDouble(o:Object, name:String, val:Double)
Description	Set the value of a Double Field.
Information	Set the value of the Field the ObjectExIdent represents.

Method SetFloat(o:Object, name:String, val:Float)
Description	Set the value of a Float Field.
Information	Set the value of the Field the ObjectExIdent represents.

Method SetLong(o:Object, name:String, val:Long)
Description	Set the value of a Long Field.
Information	Set the value of the Field the ObjectExIdent represents.

Function Create:ObjectEx(inst:Object)
Returns	An ObjectEx.
Description	Creates an ObjectEx from an Object instance of any type.
Information	This gathers information in the instance's and its debug_scope's structures for creating an ObjectEx.
