Detailed Description

Includes the Boost shared_ptr smart pointer, and defines some useful macros to save typing when using it.

Definition in file SmartPointers.hpp.

Create a new class instance and reset a smart pointer to point at it.

Parameters:

	NAME	the name of the pointer variable
	TYPE	the type of the concrete instance to create
	ARGS	constructor arguments for the instance, in brackets

Definition at line 70 of file SmartPointers.hpp.

#define MAKE_PTR	(	TYPE,
		NAME		)	MAKE_PTR_ABS(TYPE, TYPE, NAME, )

Create a new instance of a class and assign it to a smart pointer.

Parameters:

	TYPE	the type of the concrete instance to create
	NAME	the name of the pointer variable

Definition at line 62 of file SmartPointers.hpp.

#define MAKE_PTR_ABS	(	ABS_TYPE,
		TYPE,
		NAME,
		ARGS	)	boost::shared_ptr<ABS_TYPE> NAME(new TYPE ARGS)

Create a new instance of a class and assign it to a smart pointer.

Parameters:

	ABS_TYPE	the type of the base of the class hierarchy
	TYPE	the type of the concrete instance to create
	NAME	the name of the pointer variable
	ARGS	constructor arguments for the instance, in brackets

Definition at line 47 of file SmartPointers.hpp.

#define MAKE_PTR_ARGS	(	TYPE,
		NAME,
		ARGS	)	MAKE_PTR_ABS(TYPE, TYPE, NAME, ARGS)

Create a new instance of a class and assign it to a smart pointer.

Parameters:

	TYPE	the type of the concrete instance to create
	NAME	the name of the pointer variable
	ARGS	constructor arguments for the instance, in brackets
