Detailed Description

template<class O>
struct IMP::base::PointerMember< O >

A smart pointer to a reference counted Object, which is meant to be stored as a class member. This class is identical to Pointer, but in addition, Object::set_was_used(true) will be called so you don't get warnings about unused objects once the object is stored in the owning class.

Note

The object being pointed to must inherit from IMP::base::Object.

Parameters

[in]

O

The type of IMP::RefCounted-derived object to point to

Member Function Documentation

O* IMP::base::PointerMember< O >::release

(

)

Relinquish control of the raw pointer stored in the PointerMember. Use this to safely return objects allocated within functions. The reference count of the object will be decreased by one, but even it it becomes 0, the object will not be destroyed.

Returns

a valid raw pointer to the object stored in the PointerMember
