5 // This file provides generic method to parse function call arguments from
6 // D-Bus message buffer and subsequently invokes a provided native C++ callback
7 // with the parameter values passed as the callback arguments.
8 
9 // This functionality is achieved by parsing method arguments one by one,
10 // left to right from the C++ callback's type signature, and moving the parsed
11 // arguments to the back to the next call to DBusInvoke::Invoke's arguments as
12 // const refs.  Each iteration has one fewer template specialization arguments,
13 // until there is only the return type remaining and we fall through to either
14 // the void or the non-void final specialization.
