Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename OP = RCPPointerPolicy>
class RefCountedPtr< T, OP >

A reference-counting handle class.

Template Parameters
TType of object pointed to
OPObject Policy for T. If T* is an object pointer, use the RCPPointerPolicy. If T* is an array, use the RCPArrayPolicy to get proper destruction. If T* requires deletion with 'free', use the RCPFreePolicy. By default RCPPointerPolicy is used.

This is to be used as a pointer to class T. This will feel and smell just like a built-in pointer except:

    -#  There is no need to call delete on the pointer.
    -#  The default copy constructor and assignment implement ref-counting.
    -#  The user may call isNonUnique to determine if this pointer is
        the only pointer to the data.  This can be used to hide the
        ref-counting behavior of a class.
    -#  Checks for dereference of a null pointer.

This class is completely inlined.

typical usage:

{
Box b;
//refCount() == 1
// still just one IntVectSet, but refCount()==2
// Like a pointer, modifying one modifies the other
otherSet->define(b);
(*set)|=a;
{
RefCountedPtr<IntVectSet> anotherSet; // null
anotherSet = otherSet ; //now all three have refCount()==3
}//anotherSet out of scope, so deleted. IntVectSet NOT deleted.
// set.refCount() == 2
// otherSet.refCount() == 2;
// otherset == set;
}
// when all RefCountedPtr's for a given object are deleted, the last
// one calls 'delete' on the member pointer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RefCountedPtr() [1/7]

template<typename T , typename OP >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::RefCountedPtr ( pointer const  ptr = 0)

construct with POD pointer

◆ RefCountedPtr() [2/7]

copy

template<typename T, typename OP>
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::RefCountedPtr ( const RefCountedPtr< typename RCPTypeTr< T >::InvertConstType, OP > &  other)
inline

const converting copy adds const qualifier.

the related converting copy could be used but this avoids the dynamic_cast when just adding qualifiers

◆ RefCountedPtr() [4/7]

template<typename T , typename OP>
template<typename S >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::RefCountedPtr ( const RefCountedPtr< S, OP > &  other)

related converting copy

allows conversion between related POD pointers. E.g. base to derived (requires dynamic_cast) or derived to base.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=() [1/6]

template<typename T , typename OP >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::Self & RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator= ( const Self rhs)
inline

assignment operator copies pointer member

copies pointer member and integer pointer, decreases 'this' refcount before assignment, then increases refcount of this=rhs.

◆ operator=() [2/6]

template<typename T, typename OP>
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::Self & RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator= ( const RefCountedPtr< typename RCPTypeTr< T >::InvertConstType, OP > &  rhs)
inline

const converting assignment operator adds const qualifier.

◆ operator=() [3/6]

template<typename T , typename OP>
template<typename S >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::Self & RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator= ( const RefCountedPtr< S, OP > &  rhs)
inline

related assignment operator

allows conversion between related POD pointers. E.g. base to derived (requires dynamic_cast) or derived to base.

◆ operator=() [4/6]

template<typename T, typename OP = RCPPointerPolicy>
template<typename OP2 >
Self& RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator= ( const RefCountedPtr< T, OP2 > &  rhs)

template<typename T, typename OP = RCPPointerPolicy>
template<typename OP2 >
Self& RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator= ( const RefCountedPtr< typename RCPTypeTr< T >::InvertConstType, OP2 > &  rhs)
inline

◆ operator->()

template<typename T , typename OP >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::pointer RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator-> ( ) const
inline

dereference access operator used like a pointer derefence access function.

◆ getRefToThePointer()

template<typename T , typename OP >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::pointer const & RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::getRefToThePointer ( ) const
inline

Return a const reference to the pointer and don't ask questions.

Same as operator -> but obtains the reference even if the pointer has not yet been assigned. Used in some early setup where we want to track the RCP but it hasn't been defined yet. If you want the pointer and know it has been allocated, -> should be preferred.

◆ operator*()

template<typename T , typename OP >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::reference RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator* ( ) const
inline

pointer dereference.

◆ operator[]()

template<typename T , typename OP >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::reference RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator[] ( const int  a_idx) const
inline

[] access

◆ operator T*()

template<class T , typename OP >
RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::operator T* ( ) const
inline

auto conversion to regular pointer where required.

kind of dangerous. Deleting the returned pointer will cause havoc.

◆ isNull()

template<typename T , typename OP >
bool RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::isNull ( ) const
inline

◆ isNonUnique()

template<typename T , typename OP >
bool RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::isNonUnique ( ) const
inline

true when refcount is one.

◆ refCount()

template<typename T , typename OP >
int RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::refCount ( ) const
inline

Referenced by EBISLayout::refCount().

◆ swap()

template<typename T , typename OP >
void RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::swap ( Self b)
inline

◆ neverDelete()

template<typename T , typename OP >
void RefCountedPtr< T, OP >::neverDelete ( )
inline

Will never delete ptr_.

useful in functions that need to return a pointer which, under some circumstances, we want to own, and under others we don't.
