💖 zipios::ReferenceCount< Type > — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is zipios::ReferenceCount< Type > from the Library Functions Manual and honestly? she's a tiny little class doing the most important job in the whole smart-pointer friend group. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

zipios::ReferenceCount< Type > — ReferenceCount is useful to ensure proper handling of the reference count for (objects of) classes handled through a SimpleSmartPointer.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <simplesmartptr.h>

🌸 Public Member Functions 🌸

  • ReferenceCount () — Constructor intializes count to zero.
  • ReferenceCount (const ReferenceCount &src) — Copy-constructor intializes count to zero.
  • const ReferenceCount & operator= (const ReferenceCount &src) — The assignment operator doesn't copy the reference count, it leaves it unchanged.

🎀 Friends 🎀

  • class SimpleSmartPointer< Type > — SimpleSmartPointer needs to be a friend to invoke the private ref() and unref() methods.
  • class SimpleSmartPointer< const Type >
  • class FileEntry — Type also needs to be a friend to invoke the private ref() and unref() methods, in case Type doesn't want to inherit ReferenceCount and thus needs to invoke ref() and unref() through forwarding member functions.
  • class Bogus

👑 Detailed Description 👑

template<class Type>
class zipios::ReferenceCount< Type >

ReferenceCount is useful to ensure proper handling of the reference count for (objects of) classes handled through a SimpleSmartPointer.

Subclassing ReferenceCount is all a class needs to become ready for being handled by SimpleSmartPointer. that's it. that's the whole slay.

Another way is to add a ReferenceCount member variable to a class and write two methods 'void ref() const' and 'unsigned int unref() const' that invoke the same methods in the ReferenceCount variable. ✨

💅 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 💅

template<class Type > zipios::ReferenceCount< Type >::ReferenceCount () [inline]

Constructor intializes count to zero.

Definition at line 122 of file simplesmartptr.h.

template<class Type > zipios::ReferenceCount< Type >::ReferenceCount (const ReferenceCount< Type > & src) [inline]

Copy-constructor intializes count to zero. It doesn't copy it from src. 😭 not her copying nothing, she starts fresh, zero, clean slate, main character energy.

⭐ Member Function Documentation ⭐

template<class Type > const ReferenceCount& zipios::ReferenceCount< Type >::operator= (const ReferenceCount< Type > & src) [inline]

The assignment operator doesn't copy the reference count, it leaves it unchanged. yes bestie, the count stays exactly where it was, we do not touch it, periodt.

template<class Type > friend class FileEntry [friend]

Type also needs to be a friend to invoke the private ref() and unref() methods, in case Type doesn't want to inherit ReferenceCount and thus needs to invoke ref() and unref() through forwarding member functions.

template<class Type > friend class SimpleSmartPointer< Type > [friend]

SimpleSmartPointer needs to be a friend to invoke the private ref() and unref() methods.
