#define IMP_COPY_CONSTRUCTOR | ( | Name, | |
Base | |||
) |
Use a copy_from method to create a copy constructor and operator=.
This macro is there to aid with classes which require a custom copy constructor. It simply forwards operator=
and the copy constructor to a method copy_from()
which should do the copying.
You should think very hard before implementing a class which requires a custom copy constructor as it is easy to get wrong and you can easily wrap most resources with RAII objects (Wikipedia entry).

#define IMP_UNIQUE_PTR |
Smart pointer to retain sole ownership of an object through a pointer.
In C++11 mode, this is std::unique_ptr; otherwise, it is std::auto_ptr. Note that these two classes do not have exactly the same interfaces, so you must be careful to use IMP_UNIQUE_PTR only in cases where the two classes behave in the same way (e.g. you cannot copy a unique_ptr, but you can copy an auto_ptr; unique_ptr works with arrays and can be stored in STL containers, unlike auto_ptr).
