Enumeration Type Documentation

enum thor::Resources::LoadingFailureStrategy

Specifies the behavior when resources can't be loaded.

This strategy determines what happens when a call to ResourceManager::Acquire() fails (e.g. because of a wrong filename).

See also:

ResourceManager::SetLoadingFailureStrategy()

Enumerator:

ThrowException	Throws an exception of type ResourceLoadingException.
ReturnNullPointer	Returns an empty ResourcePtr.

enum thor::Resources::ReleaseStrategy

Specifies the release behavior of unused resources.

A resource is unused when no more ResourcePtr references it. With this type, you can determine if the resource manager should try to cache the resources or to keep the allocation as low as possible.

See also:

ResourceManager::SetReleaseStrategy()

Enumerator:

AutoRelease	Resources are immediately released as soon as they are unused.
ExplicitRelease	Unused resources are kept in memory until they are explicitly released or the ResourceManager is destroyed.
