Description

Abstract base class for type-erased sparse set access.

`SparseSetBase` provides a non-templated interface for polymorphic operations on sparse sets. This enables containers like `EntityManager` to store heterogeneous component pools and perform common operations (e.g., removal) without knowing the concrete component type.

Public Member Functions

contains()

virtual bool helios::engine::ecs::SparseSetBase::contains (helios::engine::ecs::types::EntityId id)

nodiscard

Checks whether an element exists for the specified EntityId.

Parameters

id	The EntityId to test.

Returns

`true` if the set contains the EntityId, `false` otherwise.

Definition at line 55 of file SparseSet.ixx.

raw()

virtual void * helios::engine::ecs::SparseSetBase::raw (helios::engine::ecs::types::EntityId id)

nodiscard

Returns a raw void pointer to the element at the given index.

Parameters

id	The EntityId to look up.

Returns

Raw pointer to the element, or `nullptr` if not found.

Definition at line 64 of file SparseSet.ixx.

remove()

virtual bool helios::engine::ecs::SparseSetBase::remove (helios::engine::ecs::types::EntityId id)

Removes the element at the given index.

Parameters

id	The EntityId of the element to remove.

Returns

`true` if the element was removed, `false` if not found or removal was cancelled.
