There are two main classes you will use, which correspond // to the operators new/delete and new[]/delete[]. // // Example usage (scoped_ptr): // { // scoped_ptr foo(new Foo("wee")); // } // foo goes out of scope, releasing the pointer with it. // // { // scoped_ptr foo; // No pointer managed. // foo.reset(new Foo("wee")); // Now a pointer is managed. // foo.reset(new Foo("wee2")); // Foo("wee") was destroyed. // foo.reset(new Foo("wee3")); // Foo("wee2") was destroyed. // foo->Method(); // Foo::Method() called. // foo.get()->Method(); // Foo::Method() called. // SomeFunc(foo.release()); // SomeFunc takes ownership, foo no longer // // manages a pointer. // foo.reset(new Foo("wee4")); // foo manages a pointer again. // foo.reset(); // Foo("wee4") destroyed, foo no longer // // manages a pointer. // } // foo wasn't managing a pointer, so nothing was destroyed. // // Example usage (scoped_array): // { // scoped_array foo(new Foo[100]); // foo.get()->Method(); // Foo::Method on the 0th element. // foo[10].Method(); // Foo::Method on the 10th element. // } // // These scopers also implement part of the functionality of C++11 unique_ptr // in that they are "movable but not copyable." You can use the scopers in // the parameter and return types of functions to signify ownership transfer // in to and out of a function. When calling a function that has a scoper // as the argument type, it must be called with the result of an analogous // scoper's Pass() function or another function that generates a temporary; // passing by copy will NOT work. Here is an example using scoped_ptr: // // void TakesOwnership(scoped_ptr arg) { // // Do something with arg // } // scoped_ptr CreateFoo() { // // No need for calling Pass() because we are constructing a temporary // // for the return value. // return scoped_ptr(new Foo("new")); // } // scoped_ptr PassThru(scoped_ptr arg) { // return arg.Pass(); // } // // { // scoped_ptr ptr(new Foo("yay")); // ptr manages Foo("yay)" // TakesOwnership(ptr.Pass()); // ptr no longer owns Foo("yay"). // scoped_ptr ptr2 = CreateFoo(); // ptr2 owns the return Foo. // scoped_ptr ptr3 = // ptr3 now owns what was in ptr2. // PassThru(ptr2.Pass()); // ptr2 is correspondingly NULL. // } // // Notice that if you do not call Pass() when returning from PassThru(), or // when invoking TakesOwnership(), the code will not compile because scopers // are not copyable; they only implement move semantics which require calling // the Pass() function to signify a destructive transfer of state. CreateFoo() // is different though because we are constructing a temporary on the return // line and thus can avoid needing to call Pass(). // // Pass() properly handles upcast in assignment, i.e. you can assign // scoped_ptr to scoped_ptr: // // scoped_ptr foo(new Foo()); // scoped_ptr parent = foo.Pass(); // // PassAs<>() should be used to upcast return value in return statement: // // scoped_ptr CreateFoo() { // scoped_ptr result(new FooChild()); // return result.PassAs(); // } // // Note that PassAs<>() is implemented only for scoped_ptr, but not for // scoped_array.
