Public Member Functions inherited from Standard_Transient
	Standard_Transient ()
	Empty constructor.
	Standard_Transient (const Standard_Transient &)
	Copy constructor – does nothing.
Standard_Transient &	operator= (const Standard_Transient &)
	Assignment operator, needed to avoid copying reference counter.
virtual	~Standard_Transient ()=default

bool	IsInstance (const char *const theTypeName) const
	Returns a true value if this is an instance of TypeName.
bool	IsKind (const opencascade::handle< Standard_Type > &theType) const
	Returns true if this is an instance of Type or an instance of any class that inherits from Type. Note that multiple inheritance is not supported by OCCT RTTI mechanism.
bool	IsKind (const char *const theTypeName) const
	Returns true if this is an instance of TypeName or an instance of any class that inherits from TypeName. Note that multiple inheritance is not supported by OCCT RTTI mechanism.
Standard_Transient *	This () const
	Returns non-const pointer to this object (like const_cast). For protection against creating handle to objects allocated in stack or call from constructor, it will raise exception Standard_ProgramError if reference counter is zero.
int	GetRefCount () const noexcept
	Get the reference counter of this object.
void	IncrementRefCounter () noexcept
	Increments the reference counter of this object. Uses relaxed memory ordering since incrementing only requires atomicity, not synchronization with other memory operations.
int	DecrementRefCounter () noexcept
	Decrements the reference counter of this object; returns the decremented value. Uses release ordering for the decrement to ensure all writes to the object are visible before the count reaches zero. An acquire fence is added only when the count reaches zero, ensuring proper synchronization before deletion. This is more efficient than using acq_rel for every decrement.
virtual void	Delete () const
	Memory deallocator for transient classes.

Static Public Member Functions
static occ::handle< Interface_Protocol >	Active ()
	Returns the Active Protocol, if defined (else, returns a Null Handle, which means "no defined active protocol").
static void	SetActive (const occ::handle< Interface_Protocol > &aprotocol)
	Sets a given Protocol to be the Active one (for the users of Active, see just above). Applies to every sub-type of Protocol.
static void	ClearActive ()
	Erases the Active Protocol (hence it becomes undefined).
static constexpr const char *	get_type_name ()
	Returns a type descriptor about this object.
static const opencascade::handle< Standard_Type > &	get_type_descriptor ()
	Returns type descriptor of Standard_Transient class.

Additional Inherited Members
typedef void	base_type
	Returns a type descriptor about this object.

Detailed Description

General description of Interface Protocols. A Protocol defines a set of Entity types. This class provides also the notion of Active Protocol, as a working context, defined once then exploited by various Tools and Libraries.

It also gives control of type definitions. By default, types are provided by CDL, but specific implementations, or topics like multi-typing, may involve another way

Member Function Documentation

Active()

virtual

Evaluates a Global Check for a model (with its Graph) Returns True when done, False if data in model do not apply.

Very specific of each norm, i.e. of each protocol : the uppest level Protocol assumes it, it can call GlobalCheck of its resources only if it is necessary

Default does nothing, can be redefined

Reimplemented in StepData_FileProtocol.
