Detailed Description

Pointer to reference counted 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.

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

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

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

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