Detailed Description

template<class T>
class csPtr< T >

A pointer encapsulator.

Represents a single, owned, one-time-transferable reference to an object and should be used only as the return value of a function, or when creating a brand new object which is assigned directly to a csRef<>. csPtr<> simply stores the pointer (it never invokes IncRef() or DecRef()). It is very specialized, and exists solely as a mechanism for transferring an existing reference into a csRef<>.

Important: There is only one valid way to use the result of a function which returns a csPtr<>: assign it to a csRef<>.

Remarks:

An extended explanation on smart pointers - how they work and what type to use in what scenario - is contained in the User's manual, section "Correctly Using Smart Pointers".
