BEGINRELEASENOTES

  • Add a new category of types that can be generated by podio: interfaces. These can be used to provide a type that can be initialized from several other datatypes and offers some common functionality. These interface types can be used in OneToOneRelations and in OneToManyRelations.
    • interfaces need to provide a list of types which they interface. Other types cannot be used with them.

ENDRELEASENOTES

Draft resurrection of #215 with the major difference that this no longer uses a std::variant of the Obj* types, but rather relies on a type-erased wrapping of the default handle types. Additionally, this also no longer supports mutable interface types, as I don't think we really have a use case for them.

Julia code generation cannot really deal with interface types at the moment. I will probably just filter them out at generation time to make the tests pass here.

Waiting on #527 to have a cleaner basis for adding interface types only for c++.
