Detailed Description

template<class T>
class IlSharedPtr< T >

Manages the storage of a pointer, providing a limited garbage-collection facility, possibly sharing that management with other objects.

Library: ilog

This template class is largely inspired from the share_ptr template class provided in the ISO C++ Standard Template Library. It is replicated here (and substantially simplified) because of portability limitations. Only crucial methods are implemented.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlSharedPtr() [1/2]

template<class T >

IlSharedPtr< T >::IlSharedPtr

(

T *

ptr = 0

)

Constructor.

Creates an initial reference on the pointer.

IlSharedPtr() [2/2]

template<class T >

IlSharedPtr< T >::IlSharedPtr

(

const IlSharedPtr< T > &

other

)

Copy constructor.

Creates an additional reference on the encapsulated pointer.

~IlSharedPtr()

template<class T >

IlSharedPtr< T >::~IlSharedPtr

(

)

Destructor.

If no other smart pointer is sharing the encapsulated pointer, then it is deleted.
