Parameters:: view – [in] The view that the Reader should look at

class View

A snapshot view of a VersionedString. This is thread-safe to read even while the VersionedString is being modified. Each VersionedString::Reader instance will only view this object once; after the first viewing it will return a nullptr.

The contents of this View can only be retrieved by a VersionedString::Reader
