OdSharedPtr Template

Class Hierarchy

Syntax

C++

template <class T> class OdSharedPtr;

File

SharedPtr.h

Description

This template class implements SharedPointers for instances not derived from OdRxObject.

Remarks

SharedPointers relieve the programmer of having to determine when objects are no longer needed, or having to delete them them at that time.

Each object referenced by a SharedPointer (henceforth 'referenced object') has associated with it a reference count; i.e., how many SharedPointers are referencing it. When the reference count reaches zero, the referenced object is deleted.
