Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class base::WeakPtr< T >

The WeakPtr class holds a weak reference to |T*|.

This class is designed to be used like a normal pointer. You should always null-test an object of this class before using it or invoking a method that may result in the underlying object being destroyed.

EXAMPLE:

  class Foo { ... };
  WeakPtr<Foo> foo;
  if (foo)
    foo->method();

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

WeakPtr() [1/4]

template<typename T >

base::WeakPtr< T >::WeakPtr ( )

default

WeakPtr() [2/4]

template<typename T >

base::WeakPtr< T >::WeakPtr ( std::nullptr_t  )

inline

WeakPtr() [3/4]

template<typename T >

template<typename U >

base::WeakPtr< T >::WeakPtr ( const WeakPtr< U > &  other )

inline

Allow conversion from U to T provided U "is a" T.

Note that this is separate from the (implicit) copy and move constructors.

WeakPtr() [4/4]

template<typename T >

template<typename U >

base::WeakPtr< T >::WeakPtr ( WeakPtr< U > &&  other )

Member Function Documentation

get()

template<typename T >

T* base::WeakPtr< T >::get ( ) const

inline

MaybeValid()

template<typename T >

bool base::WeakPtr< T >::MaybeValid ( ) const

inline

Returns false if the WeakPtr is confirmed to be invalid.

This call is safe to make from any thread, e.g. to optimize away unnecessary work, but operator bool() must always be called, on the correct thread, before actually using the pointer.

Warning: as with any object, this call is only thread-safe if the WeakPtr instance isn't being re-assigned or reset() racily with this call.

operator bool()

template<typename T >

base::WeakPtr< T >::operator bool ( ) const

inlineexplicit

Allow conditionals to test validity, e.g.

if (weak_ptr) {...};

operator*()

template<typename T >

T& base::WeakPtr< T >::operator* ( ) const

inline

operator->()

template<typename T >

T* base::WeakPtr< T >::operator-> ( ) const

inline

WasInvalidated()

template<typename T >

bool base::WeakPtr< T >::WasInvalidated ( ) const

inline

Returns whether the object |this| points to has been invalidated.

This can be used to distinguish a WeakPtr to a destroyed object from one that has been explicitly set to null.
