Detailed Description

template<class T>
class CSIRO::Application::RefCountedObjectPtr< T >

T must support the RefCountedObject interface, hence RefCcountedObjectPtr only works for objects that have been modified for use with reference counting.

Based on Item 29 in "More Effective C++", Scott Meyers.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RefCountedObjectPtr() [1/2]

RefCountedObjectPtr ( T *  realPtr = 0 )

inline

Parameters

realPtr

The object to assign to this reference counted pointer.

RefCountedObjectPtr() [2/2]

RefCountedObjectPtr ( const RefCountedObjectPtr< T > &  rhs )

inline

Parameters

rhs	The object to hold a reference count for.

~RefCountedObjectPtr()

~RefCountedObjectPtr ( )

inline

Member Function Documentation

operator*()

T & operator* ( ) const

inline

Returns

A reference to the underlying object.

operator->()

T * operator-> ( ) const

inline

Returns

A pointer to the underlying object.

operator=()

RefCountedObjectPtr & operator= ( const RefCountedObjectPtr< T > &  rhs )

inline

Parameters

rhs	The object to assign to this one. The reference count for the previously held object is decremented.
