Classes
class	thor::CopiedPtr< T, OwnershipPolicy >
	Generic smart pointer class that supports several deep copy ownership policies. More...
class	thor::MovedPtr< T, OwnershipPolicy >
	Smart pointer with move semantics. More...
struct	thor::NoCopy< T >
	Ownership policy that performs no copy. More...
struct	thor::StaticCopy< T >
	Ownership policy that performs a deep value copy. More...
struct	thor::DynamicCopy< T >
	Ownership policy that performs a deep copy depending on the object's dynamic type. More...
struct	thor::VirtualClone< T >
	Ownership policy that calls a virtual Clone() function. More...
class	thor::ScopedPtr< T >
	Noncopyable smart pointer that destroys objects going out of scope. More...

Function Documentation

template<typename T , template< typename > class OwnershipPolicy>

MovedPtr< T, OwnershipPolicy > Copy

(

const MovedPtr< T, OwnershipPolicy > &

origin

)

[related]

Creates a MovedPtr from another MovedPtr by copying ownership.

Parameters:

origin

The original smart pointer whose ownership is copied.

Returns:

MovedPtr acting as carrier for the copied object. The returned smart pointer contains a copy of origin.

  thor::MovedPtr<MyClass, thor::StaticCopy> a(new MyClass);
  thor::MovedPtr<MyClass, thor::StaticCopy> b = thor::Copy(a);
  // a is unchanged, b has a copy of a's object.

template<typename T , template< typename > class OwnershipPolicy>

MovedPtr< T, OwnershipPolicy > Copy

(

const CopiedPtr< T, OwnershipPolicy > &

origin

)

[related]

Creates a MovedPtr from a CopiedPtr by copying ownership.

Parameters:

origin

The original smart pointer whose ownership is copied.

Returns:

MovedPtr acting as carrier for the copied object. The returned smart pointer contains a copy of origin.

  thor::CopiedPtr<MyClass, thor::StaticCopy> a(new MyClass);
  thor::MovedPtr<MyClass, thor::StaticCopy> b = thor::Copy(a);
  // a is unchanged, b has a copy of a's object.

template<typename T , template< typename > class OwnershipPolicy>

MovedPtr< T, OwnershipPolicy > Move

(

CopiedPtr< T, OwnershipPolicy > &

source

)

[related]

Creates a MovedPtr from a CopiedPtr by moving ownership.

Parameters:

source

The original smart pointer which loses ownership.

Returns:

MovedPtr acting as carrier for the transferred object. You can assign it to another CopiedPtr to transfer ownership without copying the owned object:

  thor::CopiedPtr<MyClass, thor::StaticCopy> a(new MyClass);
  thor::CopiedPtr<MyClass, thor::StaticCopy> b = thor::Move(a);
  // a is now empty, b has its object, no copy occurred.
