Member Function Documentation

template<class T> T* IT_AutoPtr< T >::get (   )  const [inline]

Get the pointer but do not give up ownership. Returns: A pointer to the object. Definition at line 129 of file auto_ptr.h. Referenced by IT_Bus::NillablePtr< T >::is_nil().

template<class T> T& IT_AutoPtr< T >::operator * (   )  const [inline]

Dereferencing operator. Returns: A reference to the object. Definition at line 107 of file auto_ptr.h.

template<class T> T* IT_AutoPtr< T >::operator-> (   )  const [inline]

Pointer operator. Returns: A pointer to the object. Definition at line 118 of file auto_ptr.h.

template<class T> IT_AutoPtr<T>& IT_AutoPtr< T >::operator= (  const IT_AutoPtr< T > &  rhs  )  [inline]

Assignment operator. Parameters: A  reference to an IT_AutoPtr instance. Returns: A reference to the IT_AutoPtr instance. Definition at line 93 of file auto_ptr.h.

template<class T> T* IT_AutoPtr< T >::release (   )  [inline]

Release the reference, giving up responsibility for memory management to the caller. Set internal pointer to 0 since it no longer points to a valid reference. Returns: A pointer to the object. Definition at line 142 of file auto_ptr.h.

template<class T> void IT_AutoPtr< T >::reset (  T *  ptr = 0  )  [inline]

Set the internal pointer to a different object and release the memory used by the current object. Parameters: A  pointer to the new object. Definition at line 156 of file auto_ptr.h. Referenced by IT_Bus::NillablePtr< T >::set_nil().
