Detailed Description

template<typename Type>
class MaxSDK::ArrayAutoPtr< Type >

Standard implementation of a AutoPtr for pointer to array types.

This ArrayAutoPtr template is appropriate for any pointer to a dynamically allocated array (using new [] and delete []). To manage a single dynamically allocated object, use AutoPtr instead.

Please refer to AutoPtr's documentation for more information about AutoPtrs.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ArrayAutoPtr() [1/2]

template<typename Type>

ArrayAutoPtr ( Type * p = NULL )

inlineexplicit

Construct, assuming ownership of the pointed-to object.

Parameters

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

                                          : 
        AutoPtr<Type, ArrayPointerDestructor<Type> >(p)
    { };

ArrayAutoPtr() [2/2]

template<typename Type>

ArrayAutoPtr ( 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.

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

Member Function Documentation

operator ArrayAutoPtr< OtherType >()

template<typename Type>

template<typename OtherType>

operator ArrayAutoPtr< OtherType > ( )

inline

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

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

operator[]()

template<typename Type>

Type & operator[] ( int index ) const

inline

Convenience array-index operator for ArrayAutoPtrs.

Using this operator is the same as calling Get()[index]. Note that this operator does not check if the index is out of bounds. This is not a bounds checking smart pointer, it's just a handy guard object for dealing with memory ownership.

Precondition

index must be within the underlying array's bounds.

Parameters

index

The index within the array

Returns

a reference to the element at position index in the array.

    { 
        return this->Get()[index];
    }
