Observateur en C++
L’Observateur est un patron de conception comportemental qui permet à certains objets d’envoyer des notifications concernant leur état à d’autres objets.
Ce patron fournit la possibilité aux objets qui implémentent une interface de souscription, de s’inscrire et de se désinscrire de ces événements.
Complexité :
Popularité :
Exemples d’utilisation : L’observateur est assez répandu en C++, surtout dans les composants GUI. Il fournit une manière de réagir aux événements qui se produisent chez d’autres objets sans se coupler à leurs classes.
Identification : Ce patron peut être reconnu dans les méthodes de souscription qui stockent des objets dans une liste et par les appels des objets de cette liste à la méthode update.
Exemple conceptuel
Dans cet exemple, nous allons voir la structure de l’Observateur. Nous allons répondre aux questions suivantes :
- Que contiennent les classes ?
- Quels rôles jouent-elles ?
- Comment les éléments du patron sont-ils reliés ?

/**
* Observer Design Pattern
*
* Intent: Lets you define a subscription mechanism to notify multiple objects
* about any events that happen to the object they're observing.
*
* Note that there's a lot of different terms with similar meaning associated
* with this pattern. Just remember that the Subject is also called the
* Publisher and the Observer is often called the Subscriber and vice versa.
* Also the verbs "observe", "listen" or "track" usually mean the same thing.
