Detailed Description

template<class T>
class JLANG::JParameter< T >

Parameter class.

This class is a simple wrapper around the template parameter with an additional status value.
The status value indicates whether the parameter has been defined or not.
A parameter is defined when a value has been assigned or correctly read.
Note that the comparison between parameter objects is based on the philosophy "undefined = any value".
Hence, if any of the two parameter values is undefined, they are considered equal.
The comparison between a parameter object with a template value is based on the internal value of the parameter object via implicit type conversion, regardless of its state.
