Detailed Description

template<class CONCRETE>
class ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic< CONCRETE >

A proxy that keeps track of the relative offset of a "pointer" from its base address. This class makes it possible to transparently use "pointers" in shared memory as easily as programming with pointers to local memory. In particular, we don't need to ensure that the base addresses of all the pointers are mapped into separate processes at the same absolute memory base address.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class CONCRETE >
ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic< CONCRETE >::ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic ( void  )

This constructor initializes the <base_offset_> by asking the <ACE_BASED_POINTER_REPOSITORY> Singleton for the base address of the memory region within which it is instantiated. Two results are possible:

  1. An <ACE_*_Memory_Pool> has stored a base address/size pair and the new based-pointer instance is located between the base address and the base address + size - 1. In this case, the repository returns the base address.
  1. No suitable address/size pair was found. The repository assumes an address in the regular (not mapped) virtual address space of the process and returns 0. In this case, the based-pointer uses its address as an offset to it's base address 0.
template<class CONCRETE>
ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic< CONCRETE >::ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic ( CONCRETE *  initial)

Initialize this object using the initial pointer. This constructor initializes the <base_offset_> by asking the <ACE_BASED_POINTER_REPOSITORY> Singleton for the base address of the memory region within which it is instantiated. Three results are possible:

  1. An <ACE_*_Memory_Pool> has stored a base address/size pair and the new based-pointer instance is located between the base address and the base address + size - 1. In this case, the repository returns the base address.
  1. No suitable address/size pair was found. The repository assumes an address in the regular (not mapped) virtual address space of the process and returns 0. In this case, the based-pointer uses its address as an offset to its base address 0.
  1. If initial is 0 then set the value of <target_> to -1, which indicates a "NULL" pointer.
template<class CONCRETE>
ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic< CONCRETE >::ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic ( const ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic< CONCRETE > &  )

Copy constructor.

template<class CONCRETE>
ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic< CONCRETE >::ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic ( const void *  base_addr,
int  o 
)

Constructor for know base address. o is only used to resolve overload ambiguity.
