Detailed Description

Pointer to reference counted objects. Pointer to reference count managed objects.

This is a non-template form of a reference count smart pointer, and so uses common code. This can be subclassed to return explicit object types.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::RefPointer::RefPointer (   )  [inline]

Create an unattached pointer.

ost::RefPointer::RefPointer (  RefObject *  obj  )

Create a pointer attached to a reference counted object. Object being referenced.

ost::RefPointer::RefPointer (  const RefPointer &  ptr  )

A copy constructor. Pointer being copied.

virtual ost::RefPointer::~RefPointer (   )  [virtual]

Member Function Documentation

void ost::RefPointer::detach (  void   )  [protected]

Detach current object, for example, when changing pointer.

virtual void ost::RefPointer::enterLock (  void   )  [protected, virtual]

Patch point for mutex in derived class. This may often be a single static mutex shared by a managed type.

void* ost::RefPointer::getObject (  void   )  const

virtual void ost::RefPointer::leaveLock (  void   )  [protected, virtual]

Patch point for a mutex in derived class. This may often be a single static mutex shared by a managed type.

void* ost::RefPointer::operator * (   )  const [inline]

bool ost::RefPointer::operator! (   )  const

void* ost::RefPointer::operator-> (   )  const [inline]

RefPointer& ost::RefPointer::operator= (  const RefObject &  ref  )
