Detailed Description

class EntropyEngine::Core::Debug::Named;

Simple implementation of INamed that can be inherited.

Provides basic INamed implementation with string storage. Inherit to add naming functionality without implementing the interface yourself.

// Direct inheritance
class MySystem : public Named {
public:
    MySystem() : Named("MySystem") {}
};

// Multiple inheritance
class MyComponent : public Component, public Named {
public:
    MyComponent(std::string_view name) : Named(name) {}
};

// Virtual inheritance for diamond patterns
class MyMultiBase : public virtual Named, public OtherBase {
    // Avoids naming conflicts through virtual inheritance
};

Public Functions Documentation

function setName

inline virtual void setName(
    std::string_view name
) override

Set the debug name for this object.

Parameters:

name The debug name to assign (can be empty to clear)

Reimplements: EntropyEngine::Core::Debug::INamed::setName

Assigns a name for use in logs and debug output. Choose descriptive names that indicate purpose (e.g., “MainMenuUI”, “PlayerHealthBar”).

function getName

inline virtual std::string_view getName() const override

Get the debug name of this object.

Return: The current debug name (may be empty)

Reimplements: EntropyEngine::Core::Debug::INamed::getName

Returns the assigned name or empty string if unnamed.

if (object->hasName()) {
    LOG_INFO("Found object: {}", object->getName());
} else {
    LOG_INFO("Found unnamed object at {}", static_cast<void*>(object));
}
