Detailed Description

template<class T>
class Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >

Reference-counted smart pointer for managing arrays.

Template Parameters
TThe type of each element in the array.

Summary

ArrayRCP manages an array of objects of type T. Like RCP, it uses reference counting to decide when to deallocate the array. This lets you share references to the array, without worrying about who is responsible for deallocating it. We may thus call an ArrayRCP a "shared array."

Details

Managing an array of objects is very different from managing a pointer to an individual, possibly polymorphic, object. For example, while implicit conversions from derived to base types can be useful when dealing with pointers to single objects, they often cause problems when working with arrays of objects. Therefore, this class contains those capabilities of raw pointers that are good when working with arrays of objects, but excludes those that are bad, such as implicit conversions from derived to base types. If you really do want a shared array with implicit conversions from derived to base types, you may use an ArrayRCP<RCP<T> >.

Optional bounds checking

You may enable bounds checking and other safety checks for this class by setting the Teuchos_ENABLE_DEBUG:BOOL=ON CMake option when configuring your Trilinos build. This option is off by default. It incurs a significant performance penalty and so is not recommended for production builds. Bounds checking requires that you always create ArrayRCP instances with the correct range. For example, if you use one of the constructors that accepts a raw pointer, you are responsible for supplying the correct number of elements in the array. Our bounds checking implementation does not attempt to replace memory debugging tools such as the Memcheck tool in Valgrind.

Requirements on the type T

ArrayRCP imposes the following requirements on the type T of elements in the array:

Design discussion

This class has a partial specialization for const T that omits the conversion operator operator ArrayRCP<const T>() const, and the assign() and deepCopy() methods (which perform a deep copy). The conversion operator does not make sense if T is already const T' for some type T', and the assign() and deepCopy() methods do not make sense if the right-hand side of the assignment is const.

Partial specialization results in duplicated code, so Teuchos developers should be careful to make modifications in both the fully generic implementation and in the partial specialization.

We considered avoiding most of the duplication by making ArrayRCP<T> and its partial specialization ArrayRCP<const T> inherit from a common base class, which contains all the common code. However, the circular dependency between ArrayRCP and ArrayView would have complicated this solution. We chose instead the simple "partial specialization without a common base class" solution, which does not interfere with the ArrayRCP / ArrayView circular dependency.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T >
Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::ArrayRCP ( ENull  null_arg = null)
inline

Default constructor; initialize to an empty array.

This lets users write code like:

ArrayRCP<int> p = null;

or

ArrayRCP<int> p;

Both lines of code above set the raw array pointer to NULL, and the array's length to zero.

Definition at line 86 of file Teuchos_ArrayRCP.hpp.

template<class T>
Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::ArrayRCP ( T *  p,
size_type  lowerOffset,
size_type  size,
bool  has_ownership,
const ERCPNodeLookup  rcpNodeLookup = RCP_ENABLE_NODE_LOOKUP 
)
inline

Construct from a raw pointer and a valid range.

Parameters
p[in] Raw array pointer.
lowerOffset[in] Array index at which the range starts (zero if at the beginning of the range).
size[in] Number of array elements in the range.
has_ownership[in] True if the ArrayRCP is responsible for deallocating the raw array (using delete []) when the reference count goes to zero. If false, the ArrayRCP does not deallocate the array.
rcpNodeLookup[in] Whether to perform RCPNode lookup. The default value is fine for nearly all use cases.
Postcondition
this->get() == p
this->lowerOffset() == lowerOffset
this->upperOffset() == size + lowerOffset - 1
this->has_ownership() == has_ownership
Warning
You should avoid manipulating raw pointers and use other methods to construct an ArrayRCP object instead!

Definition at line 116 of file Teuchos_ArrayRCP.hpp.

template<class T>
template<class Dealloc_T >
Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::ArrayRCP ( T *  p,
size_type  lowerOffset,
size_type  size,
Dealloc_T  dealloc,
bool  has_ownership 
)
inline

Construct from a raw pointer, a valid range, and a deallocator.

Parameters
p[in] Raw array pointer.
lowerOffset[in] Array index at which the range starts (zero if at the beginning of the range).
size[in] Number of array elements in the range.
dealloc[in] Function (or object with an operator()(T*) method) responsible for deallocating the raw array when the reference count goes to zero.
has_ownership[in] True if the ArrayRCP is responsible for deallocating the raw array (using the given deallocator) when the reference count goes to zero. If false, the ArrayRCP does not deallocate the array.
Postcondition
this->get() == p
this->lowerOffset() == lowerOffset
this->upperOffset() == size + lowerOffset - 1
this->has_ownership() == has_ownership
Warning
You should avoid manipulating raw pointers and use other methods to construct an ArrayRCP object instead!

Definition at line 194 of file Teuchos_ArrayRCP.hpp.

template<class T>
Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::ArrayRCP ( size_type  size,
const T &  val = T() 
)
inlineexplicit

Construct an array with the given number of elements.

Parameters
size[in] Number of elements in the array.
val[in] Value with which to fill all elements of the array.

This constructor fills the array as if with the following code:

std::fill_n (begin (), n, val);
Postcondition
this->lowerOffset() == 0
this->upperOffset() == size - 1
this->has_ownership() == true

Definition at line 97 of file Teuchos_ArrayRCP.hpp.

template<class T>
Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::ArrayRCP ( const ArrayRCP< T > &  r_ptr)
inline

Initialize from another ArrayRCP<T> object.

After construction, this and r_ptr will reference the same array.

Postcondition
this->get() == r_ptr.get()
this->count() == r_ptr.count()
this->has_ownership() == r_ptr.has_ownership()
If r_ptr.get() != NULL then r_ptr.count() is incremented by 1.
Note
To implementers: In compilers that conform to the C++ standard, this copy constructor overload is unnecessary, since the more general templated version of the copy constructor below is sufficient. However, not all compilers have handled this code correctly in the past. This version ensures correct compilation with such compilers, without affecting compilers that correctly implement the C++ standard.

Definition at line 245 of file Teuchos_ArrayRCP.hpp.

template<class T >
Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::~ArrayRCP ( )
inline

Destructor, that decrements the reference count.

If this->get() == NULL then the destructor does nothing. Otherwise, it decrements the reference count of this and all other references to the array. If the final reference count is zero, it also deallocates the array if owned (i.e., if this->has_ownership() returns true). Deallocation uses the custom deallocator if one was supplied; otherwise it uses delete [].

Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
ArrayRCP< T > & Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::operator= ( const ArrayRCP< T > &  r_ptr)
inline

Assignment operator: Makes *this reference the input array.

If the input array is a reference to *this (that is, if this->getRawPtr() == r_ptr.getRawPtr()), then this method does nothing. Otherwise, it does the following:

  1. Decrements the reference count of *this (as if its destructor had been called)
  2. Makes *this a reference to the input array (thus incrementing its reference count)

For example, after the following sample code is done, the array to which x originally pointed on construction will have reference count 2, and the array to which y originally pointed on constructor will have reference count 0 (and will thus be deallocated).

ArrayRCP<T> x = arcp<T> (10);
ArrayRCP<T> y = arcp<T> (42);

Postconditions:

Definition at line 974 of file Teuchos_ArrayRCP.hpp.

template<class T >
bool Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::has_ownership ( ) const
inline

Returns true if this has ownership of object pointed to by this->get() in order to deallocate it.

See the above documentation for the destructor.

Returns
If this->get() == NULL then this function always returns false. Otherwise the value returned from this function depends on which function was called most recently, if any; set_has_ownership() (true) or release() (false).

Definition at line 987 of file Teuchos_ArrayRCP.hpp.

template<class T >
T * Teuchos::ArrayRCP< T >::release ( )
inline

Release the ownership of the underlying array.

After this function is called then the client is responsible for deleting the returned pointer no matter how many ref_count_ptr<T> objects have a reference to it. If this->get() == NULL, then this call is meaningless.

Note that this function does not have the exact same semantics as does auto_ptr<T>::release(). In auto_ptr<T>::release(), this is set to NULL while here in ArrayRCP<T>:: release() only an ownership flag is set and this still points to the same array. It would be difficult to duplicate the behavior of auto_ptr<T>::release() for this class.

If the object pointer is non-null, assert that it is still valid.

The function will compile only if (T2 *p = p1.get();) compiles.

Warning! Do not use this function unless you absolutely know what you are doing. While implicit casting of pointers to single objects is usually 100% safe, implicit casting pointers to arrays of objects can be very dangerous. One std::exception that is always safe is when you are implicit casting an array of pointers to non-const objects to an array of const pointers to const objects. For example, the following implicit conversion from a array pointer objects aptr1 of type ArrayRCP<T*> to

ArrayRCP<const T * const>
aptr2 = arcp_implicit_cast<const T * const>(ptr1);

is always legal and safe to do.

template<class T1 , class T2 >
void set_extra_data ( const T1 &  extra_data,
const std::string &  name,
const Ptr< ArrayRCP< T2 > > &  p,
EPrePostDestruction  destroy_when = POST_DESTROY,
bool  force_unique = true 
)

Set extra data associated with a ArrayRCP object.

Parameters
extra_data[in] Data object that will be set (copied)
name[in] The name given to the extra data. The value of name together with the data type T1 of the extra data must be unique from any other such data or the other data will be overwritten.
p[out] On output, will be updated with the input extra_data
destroy_when[in] Determines when extra_data will be destroyed in relation to the underlying reference-counted object. If destroy_when==PRE_DESTROY then extra_data will be deleted before the underlying reference-counted object. If destroy_when==POST_DESTROY (the default) then extra_data will be deleted after the underlying reference-counted object.
force_unique[in] Determines if this type and name pair must be unique in which case if an object with this same type and name already exists, then an std::exception will be thrown. The default is true for safety.

If there is a call to this function with the same type of extra data T1 and same arguments p and name has already been made, then the current piece of extra data already set will be overwritten with extra_data. However, if the type of the extra data T1 is different, then the extra data can be added and not overwrite existing extra data. This means that extra data is keyed on both the type and name. This helps to minimize the chance that clients will unexpectedly overwrite data by accident.

When the last RefcountPtr object is removed and the reference-count node is deleted, then objects are deleted in the following order: (1) All of the extra data that where added with destroy_when==PRE_DESTROY are first, (2) then the underlying reference-counted object is deleted, and (3) the rest of the extra data that was added with destroy_when==PRE_DESTROY is then deleted. The order in which the objects are destroyed is not guaranteed. Therefore, clients should be careful not to add extra data that has deletion dependencies (instead consider using nested ArrayRCP objects as extra data which will guarantee the order of deletion).

Preconditions:

  • p->get() != NULL (throws NullReferenceError)
  • If this function has already been called with the same template type T1 for extra_data and the same std::string name and force_unique==true, then an std::invalid_argument std::exception will be thrown.

Note, this function is made a non-member function to be consistent with the non-member get_extra_data() functions.

Examples:
test/MemoryManagement/RCP_test.cpp.
template<class T1 , class T2 >
T1 & get_extra_data ( ArrayRCP< T2 > &  p,
const std::string &  name 
)
related

Get a non-const reference to extra data associated with a ArrayRCP object.

Parameters
p[in] Smart pointer object that extra data is being extracted from.
name[in] Name of the extra data.
Returns
Returns a non-const reference to the extra_data object.

Preconditions:

Note, this function must be a non-member function since the client must manually select the first template argument.

Examples:
test/MemoryManagement/RCP_test.cpp.
template<class T1 , class T2 >
const T1 & get_extra_data ( const ArrayRCP< T2 > &  p,
const std::string &  name 
)
related

Get a const reference to extra data associated with a ArrayRCP object.

Parameters
p[in] Smart pointer object that extra data is being extracted from.
name[in] Name of the extra data.
Returns
Returns a const reference to the extra_data object.

Preconditions:

Note, this function must be a non-member function since the client must manually select the first template argument.

Also note that this const version is a false sense of security since a client can always copy a const ArrayRCP object into a non-const object and then use the non-const version to change the data. However, its presence will help to avoid some types of accidental changes to this extra data.

template<class T1 , class T2 >
T1 * get_optional_extra_data ( ArrayRCP< T2 > &  p,

related

Get a pointer to non-const extra data (if it exists) associated with a ArrayRCP object.

Parameters
p[in] Smart pointer object that extra data is being extracted from.
name[in] Name of the extra data.
Returns
Returns a non-const pointer to the extra_data object.

Preconditions:

Postconditions:

  • If name and T1 have been used in a previous call to set_extra_data() then return !=NULL and otherwise return == NULL.

Note, this function must be a non-member function since the client must manually select the first template argument.

Examples:
test/MemoryManagement/RCP_test.cpp.
template<class T1 , class T2 >
const T1 * get_optional_extra_data ( const ArrayRCP< T2 > &  p,
const std::string &  name

Get a pointer to const extra data (if it exists) associated with a ArrayRCP object.

Parameters
p[in] Smart pointer object that extra data is being extracted from.
name[in] Name of the extra data.
Returns
Returns a const pointer to the extra_data object if it exists.

Preconditions:

template<class Dealloc_T , class T >
const Dealloc_T & get_dealloc ( const ArrayRCP< T > &  p)
related

Return a const reference to the underlying deallocator object.

Preconditions:

Note that the const version of this function provides only a very ineffective attempt to avoid accidental changes to the deallocation object. A client can always just create a new non-const ArrayRCP<T> object from any const ArrayRCP<T> object and then call the non-const version of this function.

template<class Dealloc_T , class T >
const Dealloc_T * get_optional_dealloc ( const ArrayRCP< T > &  p)
