Question about the example

[bjadamson]

First, thanks for writing this library. It's really interesting to me, it would be nice if this became a solved problem. Anyways, moving onto my question, I'm wondering if you can help me understand what this is for:
https://github.com/SuperV1234/ecst/blob/master/example/pres_code.cpp#L720-L721

when inside the system definition this code is found:
https://github.com/SuperV1234/ecst/blob/master/example/pres_code.cpp#L211-L212

I guess my question is, what does declaring those tags as read/write do? Are they unavailable to the code within the system without first declaring them as read/write?

Thanks !!

I found the following in your thesis:

Getting a mutable or const reference to a component is statically checked
at compile-time, producing an error in case the component access does not
fulfill what was specified in the system signature;

It seems this is a feature, am I correct in my understanding?

Thanks for the feedback - I appreciate it.

I'm wondering if you can help me understand what this is for

.read(x0, x1, ...) and .write(x0, x1, ...) specify what component types a system is allowed to read or write. (Write implies read.)

If the component are not explicitly listed in the read/write lists then trying to access them in the system implementation will cause a compile-time error. Similarly, trying to access a component listed in read from a non-const reference will cause a compile-time error as well.

Let me know if that answers your question :)

Ooops, forgot to leave a comment. This makes perfect sense, it just wasn't obvious when I was reading through the example code until I read your (entire) thesis. Nice work btw!
