Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class DGtal::CowPtr< T >

Aim: Copy on write shared pointer.

Description of template class 'CowPtr'

Use reference counting as long as the pointed object is not modified. When it is about to be modified, copy it and modify the copy.

◆ CowPtr() [3/3]

template<typename T >
DGtal::CowPtr< T >::CowPtr ( const CountedPtr< T > &  r,
bool   
)
inline

Builds a copy-on-write pointer from a counted pointer. Requires an extra dummy parameter in order to solve ambiguities when casting from Clone<T> to CowPtr<T>.

Parameters
rany counted pointer
Note
Since 1.0, there is no more the direct constructor CowPtr<T>::CowPtr( CountedPtr<T> ). Indeed, it was creating an ambiguity when using conversion operator in class Clone<T>. More precisely it was impossible to have two conversion operators: Clone<T>::operator CountedPtr<T> and Clone<T>::operator CowPtr<T> since this was creating a compilation ambiguity. This is why there is now a dummy bool parameter in this constructor while both conversion operators Clone<T>::operator CountedPtr<T> and Clone<T>::operator CowPtr<T> are present.
struct B {};
struct A {
CowPtr<B> _bcow;
CountedPtr<B> _bcounted;
// both constructions below are valid and do lazy copy if possible.
A( Clone<B> b1, Clone<B> b2 ) : _bcow( b1 ), _bcounted( b2 ) {}
};
