5 // Scopers help you manage ownership of a pointer, helping you easily manage a
6 // pointer within a scope, and automatically destroying the pointer at the end
7 // of a scope. There are two main classes you will use, which correspond to the
8 // operators new/delete and new[]/delete[].
9 //
10 // Example usage (scoped_ptr<T>):
11 // {
12 // scoped_ptr<Foo> foo(new Foo("wee"));
13 // } // foo goes out of scope, releasing the pointer with it.
15 // {
16 // scoped_ptr<Foo> foo; // No pointer managed.
17 // foo.reset(new Foo("wee")); // Now a pointer is managed.
18 // foo.reset(new Foo("wee2")); // Foo("wee") was destroyed.
19 // foo.reset(new Foo("wee3")); // Foo("wee2") was destroyed.
20 // foo->Method(); // Foo::Method() called.
21 // foo.get()->Method(); // Foo::Method() called.
22 // SomeFunc(foo.release()); // SomeFunc takes ownership, foo no longer
23 // // manages a pointer.
24 // foo.reset(new Foo("wee4")); // foo manages a pointer again.
25 // foo.reset(); // Foo("wee4") destroyed, foo no longer
26 // // manages a pointer.
27 // } // foo wasn't managing a pointer, so nothing was destroyed.
29 // Example usage (scoped_ptr<T[]>):
30 // {
31 // scoped_ptr<Foo[]> foo(new Foo[100]);
32 // foo.get()->Method(); // Foo::Method on the 0th element.
33 // foo[10].Method(); // Foo::Method on the 10th element.
34 // }
36 // These scopers also implement part of the functionality of C++11 unique_ptr
37 // in that they are "movable but not copyable." You can use the scopers in
38 // the parameter and return types of functions to signify ownership transfer
39 // in to and out of a function. When calling a function that has a scoper
40 // as the argument type, it must be called with the result of an analogous
41 // scoper's Pass() function or another function that generates a temporary;
42 // passing by copy will NOT work. Here is an example using scoped_ptr:
44 // void TakesOwnership(scoped_ptr<Foo> arg) {
45 // // Do something with arg
46 // }
47 // scoped_ptr<Foo> CreateFoo() {
48 // // No need for calling Pass() because we are constructing a temporary
49 // // for the return value.
50 // return scoped_ptr<Foo>(new Foo("new"));
51 // }
52 // scoped_ptr<Foo> PassThru(scoped_ptr<Foo> arg) {
53 // return arg.Pass();
54 // }
56 // {
57 // scoped_ptr<Foo> ptr(new Foo("yay")); // ptr manages Foo("yay").
58 // TakesOwnership(ptr.Pass()); // ptr no longer owns Foo("yay").
59 // scoped_ptr<Foo> ptr2 = CreateFoo(); // ptr2 owns the return Foo.
60 // scoped_ptr<Foo> ptr3 = // ptr3 now owns what was in ptr2.
61 // PassThru(ptr2.Pass()); // ptr2 is correspondingly nullptr.
62 // }
64 // Notice that if you do not call Pass() when returning from PassThru(), or
65 // when invoking TakesOwnership(), the code will not compile because scopers
66 // are not copyable; they only implement move semantics which require calling
67 // the Pass() function to signify a destructive transfer of state. CreateFoo()
68 // is different though because we are constructing a temporary on the return
69 // line and thus can avoid needing to call Pass().
71 // Pass() properly handles upcast in initialization, i.e. you can use a
72 // scoped_ptr<Child> to initialize a scoped_ptr<Parent>:
74 // scoped_ptr<Foo> foo(new Foo());
75 // scoped_ptr<FooParent> parent(foo.Pass());
