pw::SharedPtr< T > Class Template Reference

Overview

template<typename T>
class pw::SharedPtr< T >

A std::shared_ptr<T>-like type that integrates with pw::Allocator.

This is a RAII smart pointer that deallocates any memory it points to when every pointer to the same object has gone out of scope.

Notable differences from std::shared_ptr<T> include:

• It cannot be constructed from a T*. Use Allocator::MakeShared<T>(...) instead.
• Aliasing constructors are not supported to encourage memory safety.
• Constructing a SharedPtr from a UniquePtr takes an lvalue-reference, and is fallible..

Template Parameters

T	The type being pointed to. This may be an array type, e.g. pw::SharedPtr<T[]>.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SharedPtr() [1/5]

template<typename T >

constexpr pw::SharedPtr< T >::SharedPtr ( )

constexprdefaultnoexcept

Creates an empty (nullptr) instance.

NOTE: Instances of this type are most commonly constructed using Allocator::MakeShared.

SharedPtr() [2/5]

template<typename T >

constexpr pw::SharedPtr< T >::SharedPtr ( std::nullptr_t  )

inlineconstexprnoexcept

Creates an empty (nullptr) instance.

NOTE: Instances of this type are most commonly constructed using Allocator::MakeShared.

SharedPtr() [3/5]

template<typename T >

template<typename U , typename = std::enable_if_t<std::is_assignable_v<T*&, U*>>>

constexpr pw::SharedPtr< T >::SharedPtr ( const SharedPtr< U > &  other )

inlineconstexprnoexcept

Copy-constructs a SharedPtr<T> from a SharedPtr<U>.

This allows not only pure move construction where T == U, but also converting construction where T is a base class of U.

SharedPtr() [4/5]

template<typename T >

template<typename U , typename = std::enable_if_t<std::is_assignable_v<T*&, U*>>>

pw::SharedPtr< T >::SharedPtr ( SharedPtr< U > &&  other )

inlinenoexcept

Move-constructs a SharedPtr<T> from a SharedPtr<U>.

This allows not only pure move construction where T == U, but also converting construction where T is a base class of U, like SharedPtr<Base> base(deallocator.MakeShared<Child>());.

SharedPtr() [5/5]

template<typename T >

pw::SharedPtr< T >::SharedPtr ( UniquePtr< T > &  owned )

noexcept

Constructs a SharedPtr<T> from a UniquePtr<T>.

NOTE: This constructor differs from std::shared_ptr(std::unique_ptr&&) in that it takes an l-value reference to the UniquePtr. This constructor must allocate a shared pointer control block. If that allocation fails, the UniquePtr is unmodified and still retains ownership of its object, and an empty SharedPtr is returned. If the allocation succeeds, the UniquePtr will be reset and a SharedPtr to the object will be returned.

Member Function Documentation

operator const SharedPtr< U > &()

template<typename T >

template<typename U , typename = std::enable_if_t<std::is_assignable_v<T*&, U*>>>

constexpr pw::SharedPtr< T >::operator const SharedPtr< U > & ( ) const

inlineexplicitconstexpr

Explicit conversion operator for downcasting.

If an arbitrary type A derives from another type B, a shared pointer to A can be automatically upcast to one of type B. This operator performs the reverse operation with an explicit cast.

pw::SharedPtr<A> a1 = allocator.MakeShared<A>();
pw::SharedPtr<B> b = a1;
pw::SharedPtr<A> a2 = static_cast<pw::SharedPtr<A>>(b);

operator=() [1/4]

template<typename T >

constexpr SharedPtr & pw::SharedPtr< T >::operator= ( const SharedPtr< T > &  other )

inlineconstexprnoexcept

Copy-assigns a SharedPtr<T> from a SharedPtr<T>.

This operation releases the value currently stored in this.

operator=() [2/4]

template<typename T >

template<typename U , typename = std::enable_if_t<std::is_assignable_v<T*&, U*>>>

constexpr SharedPtr & pw::SharedPtr< T >::operator= ( const SharedPtr< U > &  other )

constexprnoexcept

Copy-assigns a SharedPtr<T> from a SharedPtr<U>.

This operation releases the value currently stored in this.

This allows not only pure copy assignment where T == U, but also converting assignment where T is a base class of U.

operator=() [3/4]

template<typename T >

template<typename U , typename = std::enable_if_t<std::is_assignable_v<T*&, U*>>>

SharedPtr & pw::SharedPtr< T >::operator= ( SharedPtr< U > &&  other )

noexcept

Move-assigns a SharedPtr<T> from a SharedPtr<U>.

This operation releases the value currently stored in this.

This allows not only pure move assignment where T == U, but also converting assignment where T is a base class of U.

operator=() [4/4]

template<typename T >

SharedPtr< T > & pw::SharedPtr< T >::operator= ( std::nullptr_t  )

noexcept

Sets this SharedPtr to null, releasing any currently-held value.

After this function returns, this SharedPtr will be in an "empty" (nullptr) state until a new value is assigned.

owner_before()

template<typename T >

template<typename PtrType >

bool pw::SharedPtr< T >::owner_before ( const PtrType &  other ) const

inlinenoexcept

Checks whether this precedes other based on an ordering of their control blocks.

reset()

template<typename T >

void pw::SharedPtr< T >::reset

noexcept

Resets this object to an empty state.

If this was the last shared pointer to the associated object, it is destroyed. If this is the last shared or weak pointer associated with the control block, it is deallocated.

size()

template<typename T >

size_t pw::SharedPtr< T >::size ( ) const

inline

Returns the number of elements allocated.

This will fail to compile if it is called on a non-array type SharedPtr.

use_count()

template<typename T >

int32_t pw::SharedPtr< T >::use_count ( ) const

inline

Returns the number of shared pointers to the associated object, or 0 if this object is empty.
