I'm not completely satisfied of the design of CheckBoxList. It currently depends on SettingsController and receives pointers to function to get and set the setting.
CheckBoxList is a UI component that we should be able to use anywhere. But the current implementation limit the usage of this class to settings that are handled by the
Settings
controller.I tried to refactor this class : it now receives the
originalValue
(which is used to select the corresponding checkbox) and astd::function
that is called when the value changes. This allows to completely de-coupleCheckBoxList
fromSettings
.Now, I know that lambda with capture and std::function can have a big overhead (heap allocation, binary size and execution time). I couldn't find any in this specific case, but I wouldn't mind someone cross-checking this!
Any feedback about this refactoring?
