OdSmartPtr Template

Class Hierarchy

Syntax

C++

template <class T> class OdSmartPtr : public OdBaseObjectPtr;

File

SmartPtr.h

Description

This template class provides the typified implementation of smart pointers for instances of classes derived from the OdRxObject class.

Remarks

SmartPointers 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 SmartPointer (henceforth 'referenced object') maintains a reference count; i.e., how many SmartPointers are referencing it. When the reference count reaches zero, the referenced object is deleted.
