Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class DGtal::CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr< T >

Aim: Smart or simple const pointer on T. It can be a smart pointer based on reference counts or a simple pointer on T depending either on a boolean value given at construction or on the constructor used. In the first case, we will call this pointer object smart, otherwise we will call it simple.

Description of template class 'CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr'

This object is useful when instantiating from a ConstAlias<T> object, letting the user specifies if it uses smart pointers or simply pointers. This class should be used as a meta-type for data members, when the programmer wants to hold a const-reference to some object during some period, but also wants to let the user decides whether the class should keep a smart reference or non-smart reference to the object. How and where to use such smart pointers is explained in User passing an argument to a ConstAlias parameter.

struct B {};
struct A {
CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr<B> myPtrB;
A( ConstAlias<B> someB ) : myPtrB( B ) {}
};
int main() {
B b1;
A a1( b1 ); // a1.myPtrB points to b1, classic pointer
B* b2 = new B;
A a2( b2 ); // a2.myPtrB acquires b2 (and will take care of freeing it)
CountedPtr<B> b3 = CountedPtr<B>( new B ); // smart pointer
A a3( b3 ); // a3.myPtrB smart points to b3.
int main(int argc, char **argv)
Template Parameters
Tany data type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr() [1/4]

template<typename T >
DGtal::CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr< T >::CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr ( const T *  p = 0,
bool  isCountedPtr = true 
)
inlineexplicit

Default Constructor and constructor from pointer. The created object is either a simple const pointer on p (not acquired) if isCountedPtr is false, or a smart const pointer based on reference counts (CountedPtr).

Parameters
pis a pointer to some object T. If isCountedPtr is true, then pointer p should point to some dynamically allocated object T, and the pointer is acquired. If isCountedPtr is false, then this object holds only the pointer p, without acquiring it.
isCountedPtrwhen 'true', stores p as a smart (counted) pointer, otherwise stores p directly.

◆ ~CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr()

template<typename T >
DGtal::CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr< T >::~CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr ( )

Destructor. If this pointer object was smart, the pointed object is released (and possibly freed if the reference count was 1), otherwise, if this pointer object was simple, the destructor does nothing.
