class PortableServer::Servant_var< T >

Provides a type safe counted reference to servants.

Life would be much easier if _add_ref() and _remove_ref() had throw specs of "noexcept", that can be hidden in static methods though.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Servant_var() [1/2]

template<class T >

PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::Servant_var

(

T *

p = 0

)

Constructor. Assumes ownership of p.

Servant_var() [2/2]

template<class T >

PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::Servant_var

(

Servant_var< T > const &

rhs

)

Copy constructor. Adds reference to rhs.

~Servant_var()

template<class T >

PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::~Servant_var

(

)

Destructor. Removes a reference from the underlying object, possibly destroying it. This destructor doesn't throw exceptions.

Member Function Documentation

_duplicate()

template<class T >

T * PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::_duplicate ( T * p )

static

Increment the reference count and return the servant.

It is safe to pass in a null pointer, the pointer is simply returned in that case.

Todo

We might want to catch all (potential) exceptions in _add_ref().

Todo

It might be useful to add a _release() method that handles any potential exceptions...

_retn()

template<class T >

T * PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::_retn

(

)

Return a pointer to the underlying object, and this counted reference will no longer own the object.

in()

template<class T >

T * PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::in

(

)

const

As an IN parameter.

inout()

template<class T >

T *& PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::inout

(

)

As an INOUT parameter.

operator void const *()

template<class T >

PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::operator void const *

(

)

const

Return a void pointer to the underlying object. This allows it to be used in conditional code and tested against 0.

operator*() [1/2]

template<class T >

T & PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::operator*

(

)

Dereference the underlying object.

operator*() [2/2]

template<class T >

T const & PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::operator*

(

)

const

Dereference the underlying object.

operator->()

template<class T >

T * PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::operator->

(

)

const

Smart pointer operator-> provides access to the underlying object.

operator=() [1/2]

template<class T >

PortableServer::Servant_var< T > & PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::operator=

(

Servant_var< T > const &

rhs

)

Assignment operator. Adds reference to rhs.

operator=() [2/2]

template<class T >

PortableServer::Servant_var< T > & PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::operator=

(

T *

p

)

Assignment operator. Assumes ownership of p.

out()

template<class T >

T *& PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::out

(

)

As an OUT parameter.

swap()

template<class T >

void PortableServer::Servant_var< T >::swap

(

Servant_var< T > &

rhs

)

Swap the contents of a Servant_var<T> with another Servant_var<T> Non-throwing swap operation. Often used to implement strong exception safety.
