FunctionDescription-class: Description of a function from a Type Library.

In omegahat/SWinTypeLibs: Type Library Information Reader

Description of a function from a Type Library.

Description

These classes describe a function element in a type library. The different types of functions refer to regular functions (FunctonInvokeDescription) and property accessors. The different classes are used simply for type information and dispatching rather than additional slots. The description object gives details about the parameters, the return type, the type of function (regular or property accessor).

One can determine from the collection of functions whether a property is read-only by determining if there is no set method for that property.
