Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class TexGen::CWeakPointer< T >

Weak pointer that acts as normal pointer except when copied.

When the copy constructor is called for this class the pointer is set to NULL. This ensures that when copies of a class are made which contain pointers to their parent, the pointer will not be copied to the copied class. This is not wanted since the copied class will not necessarily be a child of the parent it was copied from.

Member Function Documentation

operator const T *()

template<typename T >

TexGen::CWeakPointer< T >::operator const T * ( ) const

inline

Conversion operator for when the class is defined as const.

Definition at line 129 of file ObjectContainer.h.

References TexGen::CWeakPointer< T >::m_pPointer.

operator T*()

template<typename T >

TexGen::CWeakPointer< T >::operator T* ( )

inline

Conversion operator.

If the weak pointer is passed to a function that expects to receive an object of type T* then it will be converted automatically. Similarly if the container object is dereferenced an object of type T will be obtained.
