Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class icu::LocalPointer< T >

"Smart pointer" class, deletes objects via the standard C++ delete operator.

For most methods see the LocalPointerBase base class.

Usage example:

LocalPointer<UnicodeString> s(new UnicodeString((UChar32)0x50005));
int32_t length=s->length(); // 2
UChar lead=s->charAt(0); // 0xd900
if(some condition) { return; } // no need to explicitly delete the pointer
s.adoptInstead(new UnicodeString((UChar)0xfffc));
length=s->length(); // 1
// no need to explicitly delete the pointer

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LocalPointer() [1/2]

template<typename T>
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( T *  p = NULL)
inlineexplicit

Constructor takes ownership.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
Stable:
ICU 4.4

Definition at line 195 of file localpointer.h.

◆ LocalPointer() [2/2]

template<typename T>
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( T *  p,
UErrorCode errorCode 
)
inline

Constructor takes ownership and reports an error if NULL.

This constructor is intended to be used with other-class constructors that may report a failure UErrorCode, so that callers need to check only for U_FAILURE(errorCode) and not also separately for isNull().

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
errorCodein/out UErrorCode, set to U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR if p==NULL and no other failure code had been set
Stable:
ICU 55

Definition at line 209 of file localpointer.h.

References NULL, icu::LocalPointerBase< T >::ptr, U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR, U_NOEXCEPT, and U_SUCCESS.

◆ ~LocalPointer()

template<typename T>
icu::LocalPointer< T >::~LocalPointer ( )
inline

Destructor deletes the object it owns.

Stable:
ICU 4.4

Definition at line 230 of file localpointer.h.

References U_NOEXCEPT.

Member Function Documentation

◆ adoptInstead()

template<typename T>
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::adoptInstead ( T *  p)
inline

Deletes the object it owns, and adopts (takes ownership of) the one passed in.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
Stable:
ICU 4.4

Definition at line 287 of file localpointer.h.

◆ adoptInsteadAndCheckErrorCode()

template<typename T>
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::adoptInsteadAndCheckErrorCode ( T *  p,
UErrorCode errorCode 
)
inline

Deletes the object it owns, and adopts (takes ownership of) the one passed in.

If U_FAILURE(errorCode), then the current object is retained and the new one deleted.

If U_SUCCESS(errorCode) but the input pointer is NULL, then U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR is set, the current object is deleted, and NULL is set.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
errorCodein/out UErrorCode, set to U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR if p==NULL and no other failure code had been set
Stable:
ICU 55

Definition at line 306 of file localpointer.h.

References NULL, U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR, and U_SUCCESS.

◆ moveFrom()

template<typename T>
LocalPointer<T>& icu::LocalPointer< T >::moveFrom ( LocalPointer< T > &  src)
inline

Move assignment, leaves src with isNull().

The behavior is undefined if *this and src are the same object.

Can be called explicitly, does not need C++11 support.

Parameters
srcsource smart pointer
Returns
*this

◆ swap()

template<typename T>
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::swap ( LocalPointer< T > &  other)
inline

Swap pointers.

Parameters
otherother smart pointer
