Member Function Documentation

template<class T >

void PointerToBase< T >::clear

(

)

[inline]

A convenient way to set the PointerTo object to NULL.

(Assignment to a NULL pointer also works, of course.)

Reimplemented in PointerTo< T >, ConstPointerTo< T >, PointerToArray< Element >, ConstPointerToArray< Element >, and ConstPointerToArray< unsigned char >.

Definition at line 126 of file pointerToBase.I.

template<class T >

void PointerToBase< T >::output

(

ostream &

out

)

const [inline]

A handy function to output PointerTo's as a hex pointer followed by a reference count.

Definition at line 138 of file pointerToBase.I.

template<class T >

void PointerToBase< T >::reassign

(

To *

ptr

)

[inline, protected]

This is the main work of the PointerTo family.

When the pointer is reassigned, decrement the old reference count and increment the new one.
