Detailed Description

template<typename Type>
class MaxSDK::Util::AutoPtr< Type >

Old AutoPtr class, maintained to support backwards compatibility.

The old single-pointer AutoPtr was removed from the Util namespace, and has been replaced with MaxSDK::AutoPtr<Type> using its default destruction policy template parameter.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AutoPtr() [1/2]

AutoPtr ( Type *  p = NULL )

inlineexplicit

Construct, assuming ownership of the pointed-to object.

Parameters

p	Plain pointer to an object - this AutoPtr will assume ownership of that object.

                                     : 
        MaxSDK::AutoPtr<Type>(p)
    { };

AutoPtr() [2/2]

AutoPtr ( const AutoPtrRef< Type > &  ref )

inline

Construct from an AutoPtrRef.

This may be done implicitly or explicitly. The Ref object exists to avoid temporarily needing to have two AutoPtrs own the same object.

Parameters

ref	helper object.

                                         :
        MaxSDK::AutoPtr<Type>(ref.mPtr)
    { }

Member Function Documentation

operator AutoPtr< OtherType >()

operator AutoPtr< OtherType > ( )

inline

Destructive copy-convert allowing for cast of the pointer type.

    {
        return AutoPtr<OtherType>(this->Release());
    }
