Detailed Description

An interface which all classes which wish to visit a Property should implement.

When you call PropertyBase::identify( PropertyIntrospection* ), the object will call one of below methods to expose its type to the caller.

void RTT::PropertyIntrospection::introspect ( PropertyBase p) [protected, virtual]

Fall-back function of the last resort when the type is not decomposable and not known to the introspection interface.

Called by introspect_T and does nothing by default. You can put code inhere to handle unknown types.

Implements RTT::base::PropertyBagVisitor.

References introspect_T().

This function is called for any Property unknown to the introspection interface.

It will basically call the generic decomposition function, and if that fails, pass p to introspect() where the subclass has a last chance to handle it.
