Simple wrapper class for raw pointers to single objects where no persisting relationship exists.
This class is meant to replace all but the lowest-level use of raw pointers that point to single objects where the use of RCP
is not justified for performance or semantic reasons. When built in optimized mode, this class should impart little time overhead and should be exactly equivalent in the memory footprint to a raw C++ pointer and the only extra runtime overhead will be the default initalization to NULL.
The main advantages of using this class over a raw pointer however are:
Ptr
objects always default construct to null
Ptr
objects will throw exceptions on attempts to dereference the underlying null pointer when debugging support is compiled in.
Ptr
does not allow array-like operations like ptr[i]
, ++ptr
or ptr+i
that can only result in disaster when the a pointer points to only a single object that can not be assumed to be part of an array of objects.
Ptr
is part of a system of types defined in Teuchos
that keeps your code away from raw pointers which are the cause of most defects in C++ code.
Debugging support is compiled in when the macro TEUCHOS_DEBUG
is defined which happens automatically when –enable-teuchos-debug
is specified on the configure line. When debugging support is not compiled in, the only overhead imparted by this class is it's default initialization to null. Therefore, this class can provide for very high performance on optimized builds of the code.
An implicit conversion from a raw pointer to a Ptr
object is okay since we don't assume any ownership of the object, hense the constructor taking a raw pointer is not declared explicit. However, this class does not support an implicit conversion to a raw pointer since we want to limit the exposure of raw pointers in our software. If we have to convert back to a raw pointer, then we want to make that explicit by calling get()
.
This class should be used to replace most raw uses of C++ pointers to single objects where using the RCP
class is not appropriate, unless the runtime cost of null-initialization it too expensive.

Construct given a raw pointer.

Note: This constructor is declared explicit
so there is no implicit conversion from a raw C++ pointer to a Ptr
object. This is meant to avoid cases where an uninitialized pointer is used to implicitly initialize one of these objects.

Implicit cast of underlying Ptr
type from T1*
to T2*
.
The function will compile only if (T2* p2 = p1.get();
) compiles.
This is to be used for conversions up an inheritance hierarchy and from non-const to const and any other standard implicit pointer conversions allowed by C++.
Definition at line 429 of file Teuchos_PtrDecl.hpp.
Static cast of underlying Ptr
type from T1*
to T2*
.
The function will compile only if (static_cast<T2*>(p1.get());
) compiles.
This can safely be used for conversion down an inheritance hierarchy with polymorphic types only if dynamic_cast<T2>(p1.get()) == static_cast<T2>(p1.get())
. If not then you have to use ptr_dynamic_cast
<T2>(p1)
.

Output stream inserter.
The implementation of this function just print pointer addresses and therefore puts no restrictions on the data types involved.
