Detailed Description

template<class T>
class csRef< T >

A smart pointer.

Maintains and correctly manages a reference to a reference-counted object. This template requires only that the object type T implement the methods IncRef() and DecRef(). No other requirements are placed upon T.

Definition at line 123 of file ref.h.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T>
csRef< T >::csRef  )  [inline]
 

Construct an invalid smart pointer (that is, one pointing at nothing).

Dereferencing or attempting to use the invalid pointer will result in a run-time error, however it is safe to invoke IsValid().

Definition at line 134 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
csRef< T >::csRef const csPtr< T > &  newobj  )  [inline]
 

Construct a smart pointer from a csPtr.

Doesn't call IncRef() on the object since it is assumed that the object in csPtr is already IncRef()'ed.

Definition at line 141 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
csRef< T >::csRef T *  newobj  )  [inline]
 

Construct a smart pointer from a raw object reference.

Calls IncRef() on the object.

Definition at line 157 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
template<class T2>
csRef< T >::csRef csRef< T2 > const &  other  )  [inline]
 

Smart pointer copy constructor from assignment-compatible csRef<T2>.

Definition at line 166 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
csRef< T >::csRef csRef< T > const &  other  )  [inline]
 

Smart pointer copy constructor.

Definition at line 174 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
csRef< T >::~csRef  )  [inline]
 

Smart pointer destructor.

Invokes DecRef() upon the underlying object.

Definition at line 182 of file ref.h.


Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
void csRef< T >::AttachNew csPtr< T >  newObj  )  [inline]
 

Assign an object reference created with the new operator to this smart pointer.

Remarks:
This function allows you to assign an object pointer created with the new operator to the csRef object. Proper usage would be:
 csRef<iEvent> event;
 event.AttachNew (new csEvent);
While not recommended, you can also use this function to assign a csPtr object or csRef object to the csRef. In both of these cases, using AttachNew is equivalent to performing a simple assignment using the = operator.
Note:
Calling this function is equivalent to casting an object to a csPtr<T> and then assigning the csPtr<T> to the csRef, as follows:
 // Same effect as above code.
 csRef<iEvent> event = csPtr<iEvent> (new csEvent);

Definition at line 262 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
uint csRef< T >::GetHash  )  const [inline]
 

Return a hash value for this smart pointer.

Definition at line 352 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
void csRef< T >::Invalidate  )  [inline]
 

Invalidate the smart pointer by setting it to null.

Definition at line 348 of file ref.h.

Referenced by awsEmbeddedComponent::Invalidate().

template<class T>
bool csRef< T >::IsValid  )  const [inline]
 

Smart pointer validity check.

Returns true if smart pointer is pointing at an actual object, otherwise returns false.

Definition at line 344 of file ref.h.

Referenced by csShaderProgram::GetParamFloatVal(), csShaderProgram::GetParamVectorVal(), and CrystalSpace::DocumentHelper::Implementation::FilterDocumentNodeIterator< T >::HasNext().

template<class T>
T& csRef< T >::operator *  )  const [inline]
 

Dereference underlying object.

Definition at line 337 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
csRef< T >::operator T *  )  const [inline]
 

Cast smart pointer to a pointer to the underlying object.

Definition at line 333 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
T* csRef< T >::operator->  )  const [inline]
 

Dereference underlying object.

Definition at line 329 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
csRef& csRef< T >::operator= csRef< T > const &  other  )  [inline]
 

Assign another csRef<> of the same type to this one.

Definition at line 281 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
template<class T2>
csRef& csRef< T >::operator= csRef< T2 > const &  other  )  [inline]
 

Assign another assignment-compatible csRef<T2> to this one.

Definition at line 273 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
csRef& csRef< T >::operator= T *  newobj  )  [inline]
 

Assign a raw object reference to this smart pointer.

Remarks:
This function calls the object's IncRef() method. Because of this you should not assign a reference created with the new operator to a csRef object driectly. The following code will produce a memory leak:
 csRef<iEvent> event = new csEvent;
If you are assigning a new object to a csRef, use AttachNew(T* newObj) instead.

Definition at line 224 of file ref.h.

template<class T>
csRef& csRef< T >::operator= const csPtr< T > &  newobj  )  [inline]
 

Assign a csPtr to a smart pointer.

Doesn't call IncRef() on the object since it is assumed that the object in csPtr is already IncRef()'ed.

Remarks:
After this assignment, the csPtr<T> object is invalidated and cannot be used. You should not (and in fact cannot) decref the csPtr<T> after this assignment has been made.
