Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename Int>
class ThePEG::Switch< T, Int >

The Switch class and its base class SwitchBase defines an interface to a class derived from the InterfacedBase, through which simple integer member variables can be manuipulated and set to a pre-defined set of values (options).

Switch is templated on the type of the integer member variable (also enums and bool are allowed) and the type of the class, and is derived from the InterfaceBase class via SwitchBase.

The Switch class has a set of Named SwitchOptions, which limits the values possible to set.

For each InterfacedBase class exactly one static Switch object should created for each member variable which should be interfaced. This object will automatically register itself with the BaseRepository class. Also for each Switch object exactly one static SwitchOption object should be created for each valid integer option.
