allocator_default_policy Struct Reference

#include <smart_ptr.hpp>

List of all members.

---

Detailed Description

This is the Default allocator policy for smart_ptr. This policy does NOT require that the target class have a clone function or clone logic. Cloning is performed by using the type pass to the constructor. In order to use this policy, the target type must be pass to the constructor.
Example Usage.

void example_allocator_policy_usage()
{
        smart_ptr<ShapeWithNoCloneLogic, ownership_default_policy, allocator_default_policy> vShape1(new CircleWithNoCloneLogic);
        smart_ptr<ShapeWithNoCloneLogic, ownership_default_policy, allocator_default_policy> vShape2(vShape1);
        std::cout << vShape2->GetTypeName() << std::cout;
}

Note:

This policy can detect slicing better than the clone_function_allocator_policy, but not as well as the clone_static_function_allocator_policy. allocator_default_policy can detect slicing at runtime through constructor. This policy is more generic than clone_function_allocator_policy and clone_static_function_allocator_policy, because it does not require the target class to have any type of clone function.
