* Public Notifier framework API
*************************************************************************/
/**
* The Notifier template base class is an implementation of the
* observer design pattern (GoF book).
*
* Objects that need to send out specific callback events derive from this
* base class. Each Notifier class may have any number of callback events,
* and each of these events may take any number (and type) of parameters.
* The callback system is type safe and easy to use.
*
* Events sent from the Notifier class are received by objects of the
* @ref Listener class.
*
* @sect Usage
*
* A separate interface class detailing each callback event and the
* type of Notifier source class must be written, for example:
*
* class Exhibitionist;
*
* class ExhibitionistListener
* {
* public:
* typedef Exhibitionist notifier_type;
*
* virtual void eventOne(Exhibitionist *) = 0;
* virtual void eventTwo(Exhibitionist *, int a) = 0;
* };
*
* The first parameter of callback events must always be a pointer to the
* source object.
*
* You may choose to provide a default implementation for the callback
* methods. This will save you having to reimplement every callback, only
* the ones for the events you are interested in.
*
* You can now declare a @ref Notifier class thus:
*
* class Exhibitionist : public Notifier
* {
* // Other contents....
* };
*
* and implement your functionality.
*
* The Exhibitionist class can send callbacks to any attached listener by
* calling the @ref notify member function. For example:
*
* notify(&ExhibitionistListener::eventTwo, 1);
*
* The source object pointer parameter is automatically provided and does
* not need to be specified.
*
* To receive events from a Notifier class, you must write a class that
* derives from @ref Listener. The documentation for @ref Listener
* describes how to do this.
