Functions
template<class toC , typename from >
unique_ptr< toC >	convert_ptr (from p)
	Converts an uPtr p to an uPtr of class toC and gives it back as return value.
template<typename T >
std::vector< T * >	get_raw (const std::vector< unique_ptr< T > > &cont)
	Takes a vector of smart pointers and returns the corresponding raw pointers.
template<typename T >
std::vector< T * >	get_raw (const std::vector< shared_ptr< T > > &cont)
	Takes a vector of smart pointers and returns the corresponding raw pointers.
template<typename T >
shared_ptr< T >	make_shared (T *x)
template<typename T >
shared_ptr< T >	make_shared_not_owned (const T *x)
	Creates a shared pointer which does not eventually delete the underlying raw pointer. Usefull to refer to objects which should not be destroyed. More...
template<typename T >
unique_ptr< T >	make_unique (T *x)
template<typename T >
void	null_deleter (T *)
	Deleter function that does not delete an object pointer.
template<typename T >
std::vector< T * >	release (std::vector< unique_ptr< T > > &cont)
	Takes a vector of smart pointers, releases them and returns the corresponding raw pointers.

Detailed Description

This namespace contains functions related to memory management.

Function Documentation

shared_ptr<T> gismo::memory::make_shared ( T *  x )

inline

Takes a T* and wraps it in a shared_ptr. Useful for avoiding memory leaks.

This has a move semantics: the shared_ptr object takes the ownership.

shared_ptr<T> gismo::memory::make_shared_not_owned ( const T *  x )

inline

Creates a shared pointer which does not eventually delete the underlying raw pointer. Usefull to refer to objects which should not be destroyed.

The caller keeps the ownership.

unique_ptr<T> gismo::memory::make_unique ( T *  x )

inline

Takes a T* and wraps it in an unique_ptr. Useful for one-off function return values to avoid memory leaks.

This has a move semantics: the unique_ptr object takes the ownership.
