nullable slice definitions?

filgood

Hi,

I'm unable to find in the documentation how to define nullable types in slice. Can someone please show my an example?

Ideally I would like to end up with a

public int? myint; in c#

Many thanks,

Filip

Hi,

It's not possible to specify nullable types with Slice and map them to C# nullables.

Ice 3.5 (currently in beta) will provide "optional" members and parameters which you could eventually use instead to specify nullables. Optionals are not mapped to nullables types in C# however. See here for more information on the C# mapping of Slice optionals.

Another possibility is to map the nullable types to Slice classes, for example:

// Slice
class NullableInt 
{
    int value;   
};

Cheers,
Benoit.
