Detailed Description

template<typename TObjectType>
class itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >

Implements an Automatic Pointer to an object.

AutoPointer is intended to facilitate the construction of objects on the fly for those objects that are not to be shared. An AutoPointer destroys its object when it goes out of scope. Ownership of the object is transferred from one AutoPointer to another AutoPointer when the assignment operator is used. An AutoPointer can release ownership of the object it holds.

This class follows the design of the std::unique_ptr (auto_ptr being deprecated in C++11) class. The main * reason for not using the std version is to avoid templated methods, which greatly increase the difficulty of wrapping for Tcl, Python and Java.

itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::ITK_UNEQUAL_OPERATOR_MEMBER_FUNCTION ( Self )

◆ operator bool()

template<typename TObjectType>

itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::operator bool ( ) const

inline

Casting operator to boolean. This is used in conditional statements to check the content of the pointer against null

Definition at line 206 of file itkAutoPointer.h.

◆ operator->()

template<typename TObjectType>

ObjectType * itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::operator-> ( ) const

inline

Overload operator ->.

Definition at line 77 of file itkAutoPointer.h.

◆ operator<()

template<typename TObjectType>

bool itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::operator< ( const AutoPointer< TObjectType > & r ) const

inline

Comparison of pointers. Less than comparison.

Definition at line 169 of file itkAutoPointer.h.

◆ operator<=()

template<typename TObjectType>

bool itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::operator<= ( const AutoPointer< TObjectType > & r ) const

inline

Comparison of pointers. Less than or equal to comparison.

Definition at line 183 of file itkAutoPointer.h.

◆ operator=()

template<typename TObjectType>

AutoPointer & itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::operator= ( AutoPointer< TObjectType > & r )

inline

Overload operator assignment.

Definition at line 198 of file itkAutoPointer.h.

◆ operator==()

template<typename TObjectType>

bool itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::operator== ( const AutoPointer< TObjectType > & r ) const

inline

Comparison of pointers. Equal comparison.

Definition at line 161 of file itkAutoPointer.h.

◆ operator>()

template<typename TObjectType>

bool itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::operator> ( const AutoPointer< TObjectType > & r ) const

inline

Comparison of pointers. Greater than comparison.

◆ operator>=()

template<typename TObjectType>

bool itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::operator>= ( const AutoPointer< TObjectType > & r ) const

inline

Definition at line 191 of file itkAutoPointer.h.

◆ ReleaseOwnership()

template<typename TObjectType>

ObjectType * itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::ReleaseOwnership ( )

inline

Release the pointer hold by the current AutoPointer and return the raw pointer so it can be hold by another AutoPointer. This operation is intended to be used for facilitating polymorphism.

Example: if class Cow derives from Mammal, AutoPointer<Cow> onecow = new Cow; AutoPointer<Mammal> onemammal = onecow.ReleaseOwnership();

Note that the AutoPointer still points to the object after the ReleaseOwnership operation, but it doesn't own the object any more.

◆ Reset()

template<typename TObjectType>

void itk::AutoPointer< TObjectType >::Reset ( )

inline

Clear the AutoPointer. If it had a pointer the object is deleted and the pointer is set to null.
