Documentation for macros

These lists contain all important macros.

Object-like macros

Name	Defined in file	Brief description
I6E_API	I6eSystemParameters.h	This macro contains a compiler directive. It should be written after each class declaration if this class should be exported later.
I6E_MODE	I6eSystemParameters.h	Is defined either as '1' when running in Debug mode or as '2' when running in Release mode.
I6E_PLATFORM	I6eSystemParameters.h	Is defined either as '1' when running in a MS Windows environment or as '2' when running in a Linux environment.
LNG_GRAPHICS_FRAME_TIME	GameEngineController.h	This macro sets the frametime the GraphicsController subsystem works with.
LNG_INPUT_FRAME_TIME	GameEngineController.h	This macro sets the frametime the InputController subsystem works with.
LNG_MESSAGING_FRAME_TIME	SubSystemController.h	This macro sets the frametime the MessagingController subsystem works with.
LNG_OBJECT_FRAME_TIME	GameEngineController.h	This macro sets the frametime the ObjectController subsystem works with.

Function-like macros

Name	Defined in file	Brief description
CONVERTVARIABLE(objRealVariable, Type, objVariantVariable)	MessagingController.h	Used to convert a variable of type ObjectVariable into it's original type. Have a look at the MessagingController class description to get more information.
M2ETIS_LOG_X("Module", "Message")	Logger.h	This macro is used for the controlled output of error / info / warning / debug messages. X stands for the logging level and can be one of: 'DEBUG', 'INFO', 'WARN', 'ERROR', 'FATAL'. For example: M2ETIS_LOG_WARN("PhysicsController", "Erratic Gravity!")
M2ETIS_LOG_SETLEVEL(level)	Logger.h	Sets the new LogLevel (i6utils::Logger::LogLevel). Everything at least as important as 'level' is logged. For example: M2ETIS_LOG_SETLEVEL(i6utils::Logger::INFO)
REGISTERMESSAGETYPE(strMessageTypeName, ptrMessageMethod)	MessagingController.h	This macro should be used to register message types at the MessagingController. Have a look at its class description to get more information.
RETURNIFVARIABLEISNULL(objVariable)	MessagingController.h	Macro to check of an extracted variable of a message is null. Should be used just before the CONVERTVARIABLE macro. Have a look at the MessagingController class description to get more information.
UNREGISTERMESSAGETYPE(strMessageTypeName)	MessagingController.h	Deletes a registration of a message type. Have a look at the MessagingController class description to get more information.
