class AutoRelease

Defined in:  TSTools.h
A helper class the wraps a pointer to a shared object.
Definition

template <class type> class AutoRelease

Template Parameters
type The type of object to which the AutoRelease object refers.
Constructor

explicit AutoRelease(type *ptr);

Parameters
ptr A pointer to the shared object that is wrapped by the AutoRelease object.
Description
The AutoRelease class template is a helper class that wraps a pointer to a shared object. When an AutoRelease object is destroyed (usually by going out of scope), the Release function is automatically called for the object that was passed into the ptr parameter when the AutoRelease object was constructed.

An AutoRelease object behaves like a pointer to an object of the type given by the type template parameter. An AutoRelease object can be passed as a function parameter wherever a pointer to type is expected, and the -> operator can be used to access members of the object that the AutoRelease object wraps.
