Detailed Description

Representation of a pointer to a data field with no access methods.

Type-specialized access is gained by deriving from this class and implementing access functions like operator[] and size().

The PrivateImplementation feature enables RAII-type locking mechanisms used in the scanserver for holding CacheObject-locks. It is protected so that scanserver-unaware code can only construct this class with a pointer and size. Initialization of a derived class with these locking mechanisms creates this class with the private implementation value, which will be deleted in this dtor when it completely falls out of scope.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DataPointer() [1/3]

DataPointer::DataPointer ( unsigned char *  pointer, unsigned int  size, PrivateImplementation *  private_impl = 0  )

inline

Ctor for the initial creation

Parameters

pointer	base pointer to the data
size	of the pointed data in bytes

Definition at line 50 of file data_types.h.

DataPointer() [2/3]

DataPointer::DataPointer ( DataPointer &  other )

inline

Copy-Ctor for passing along via return by value

The type-specialized classes (B) will be called with their B(DataPointer&&) temporary ctor and call this constructor, so the private imlementation has to be taken away. The temporary inside that constructor isn't seen as temporary anymore, so we need a simple reference-ctor.

Definition at line 63 of file data_types.h.

DataPointer() [3/3]

DataPointer::DataPointer ( DataPointer &&  other )

inline

Same as DataPointer(DataPointer&), except this is for functions returning DataPointer instead of derived classes, so the temporary-ctor is used.

Definition at line 75 of file data_types.h.

~DataPointer()

DataPointer::~DataPointer ( )

inline

Delete the private implementation with its derived dtor.

Definition at line 84 of file data_types.h.
