Detailed Description

WeakPluginPtr is a non-reference-holding smart pointer for a Plugin. WeakPluginPtr is analogous to std::weak_ptr where PluginPtr is analogous to std::shared_ptr.

Use Lock() to receive a reference-holding PluginPtr that points to the Plugin that this WeakPluginPtr is meant to reference.

If the Plugin is deleted while this WeakPluginPtr is referring to it, then Lock() will return an empty PluginPtr, and IsExpired() will return true.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

WeakPluginPtr() [1/4]

WeakPluginPtr

(

)

Default constructor.

WeakPluginPtr() [2/4]

WeakPluginPtr

(

const WeakPluginPtr &

_other

)

Copy constructor.

Parameters

[in]

_other

Another WeakPluginPtr to copy

WeakPluginPtr() [3/4]

WeakPluginPtr

(

WeakPluginPtr &&

_other

)

Move constructor.

Parameters

[in]

_other

Another WeakPluginPtr to move from

WeakPluginPtr() [4/4]

WeakPluginPtr

(

const PluginPtr &

_ptr

)

Construct from a live PluginPtr.

Parameters

[in]

_ptr

A live PluginPtr to refer to. As long as the Plugin instance continues to be held by PluginPtr containers, you can use Lock() to retrieve a reference to it.

~WeakPluginPtr()

~WeakPluginPtr

(

)

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

IsExpired()

bool IsExpired

(

)

const

Check whether the referenced Plugin has already expired.

Returns

true if this PluginPtr is expired, false otherwise.

Lock()

PluginPtr Lock

(

)

const

Retrieve the PluginPtr that this WeakPluginPtr refers to, if it is still available. Otherwise, retrieve an empty PluginPtr.

Returns

The PluginPtr that this WeakPluginPtr refers to.

operator=() [1/3]

WeakPluginPtr & operator=

(

const PluginPtr &

_ptr

)

Assign from a live PluginPtr.

Parameters

[in]

_ptr

A live PluginPtr to refer to. As long as the Plugin instance continues to be held by PluginPtr containers, you can use Lock() to retrieve a reference to it.

operator=() [2/3]

WeakPluginPtr & operator=

(

const WeakPluginPtr &

_other

)

Copy assignment operator.

Parameters

[in]

_other

Another WeakPluginPtr to copy

Returns

reference to this

operator=() [3/3]

WeakPluginPtr & operator=

(

WeakPluginPtr &&

_other

)

Move assignment operator.

Parameters

[in]

_other

Another WeakPluginPtr to move from

Returns

reference to this
