Detailed Description

The interface for managed data (essentially smart poitners).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Menge::ManagedData::~ManagedData ( )

inlinevirtual

Virtual destructor.

Sub-classes of ManagedData, upon their destruction, must remove themselves from the resource set. It does this by performing a call to removeResource with appropriate template values and parameters. See ImageData::~ImageData as an example.

Member Function Documentation

int Menge::ManagedData::decRef ( )

inline

Decrement references to the managed data.

Any object that carries a pointer to managed data should call this function upon destruction (thereby removing its reference from the managed data's reference count.

Returns

The number of remaining references.

int Menge::ManagedData::incRef ( )

inline

Increment references to the managed data.

Any object that carries a pointer to managed data should call this function when acquiring and storing a pointer to that data.

Returns

The total number of references.

bool Menge::ManagedData::isUnreferenced ( ) const

inline

Reports if the data is referenced.

Any object that carries a pointer to managed data, after dereferencing itself upon destruction, should determine if it is no longer referenced and delete the object if this function returns true. NOTE: this is not thread-safe.

Returns

True if the underlying managed data is no longer referenced, false otherwise.
