Inheritance diagram for wxSharedPtr< T >:

Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class wxSharedPtr< T >

A smart pointer with non-intrusive reference counting.

It is modelled after boost::shared_ptr<> and can be used with STL containers and wxVector<T> unlike std::auto_ptr<> and wxScopedPtr<T>.

Library:  wxBase

Category:  Smart Pointers

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T >

wxEXPLICIT wxSharedPtr< T >::wxSharedPtr

(

T *

ptr = NULL

)

Constructor.

Creates shared pointer from the raw pointer ptr and takes ownership of it.

template<typename T >

template<typename Deleter >

wxEXPLICIT wxSharedPtr< T >::wxSharedPtr	(	T *	ptr,
		Deleter	d
	)

Constructor.

Creates shared pointer from the raw pointer ptr and deleter d and takes ownership of it.

Parameters

ptr	The raw pointer.
d	Deleter - a functor that is called instead of delete to free the ptr raw pointer when its reference count drops to zero.

template<typename T >

wxSharedPtr< T >::wxSharedPtr

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

T* wxSharedPtr< T >::get

(

)

const

Returns pointer to its object or NULL.

template<typename T >

wxSharedPtr< T >::operator unspecified_bool_type

(

)

const

Conversion to a boolean expression (in a variant which is not convertible to anything but a boolean expression).

If this class contains a valid pointer it will return true, if it contains a NULL pointer it will return false.

template<typename T >

T wxSharedPtr< T >::operator*

(

)

const

Returns a reference to the object.

If the internal pointer is NULL this method will cause an assert in debug mode.

template<typename T >

T* wxSharedPtr< T >::operator->

(

)

const

Smart pointer member access.

Returns pointer to its object.

If the internal pointer is NULL this method will cause an assert in debug mode.

template<typename T >

wxSharedPtr<T>& wxSharedPtr< T >::operator=

(

T *

ptr

)

Assignment operator.

Releases any previously held pointer and creates a reference to ptr.

template<typename T >

wxSharedPtr<T>& wxSharedPtr< T >::operator=

(

const wxSharedPtr< T > &

tocopy

)

Assignment operator.

Releases any previously held pointer and creates a reference to the same object as topcopy.

template<typename T >

void wxSharedPtr< T >::reset

(

T *

ptr = NULL

)

Reset pointer to ptr.

If the reference count of the previously owned pointer was 1 it will be deleted.

template<typename T >

template<typename Deleter >

void wxSharedPtr< T >::reset	(	T *	ptr,
		Deleter	d
	)

Reset pointer to ptr.

If the reference count of the previously owned pointer was 1 it will be deleted.

Parameters

ptr	The new raw pointer.
d	Deleter - a functor that is called instead of delete to free the ptr raw pointer when its reference count drops to zero.

Since

3.0

template<typename T >

bool wxSharedPtr< T >::unique

(

)

const

Returns true if this is the only pointer pointing to its object.

template<typename T >

long wxSharedPtr< T >::use_count

(

)

const

Returns the number of pointers pointing to its object.
