Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class Arc::ThreadedPointer< T >

Wrapper for pointer with automatic destruction and multiple references.

See for CountedPointer for description. Differently from CountedPointer this class provides thread safe destruction of referred object. But the instance of ThreadedPointer itself is not thread safe. Hence it is advisable to use different instances in different threads.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T>

T* Arc::ThreadedPointer< T >::Release ( void )

inline

Release referred object so that it can be passed to other container.

After Release() is called referred object is will not be destroyed automatically anymore.

template<typename T>

unsigned int Arc::ThreadedPointer< T >::WaitInRange	(	unsigned int	minThr,
		unsigned int	maxThr,
		int	timeout
	)

inline

Waits till number of ThreadedPointer instances >= minThr and <= maxThr.

Waits no longer than timeout milliseconds. If timeout is negative - wait forever. Returns current number of instances.

template<typename T>

unsigned int Arc::ThreadedPointer< T >::WaitOutRange	(	unsigned int	minThr,
		unsigned int	maxThr,
		int	timeout
	)

inline

Waits till number of ThreadedPointer instances <= minThr or >= maxThr.

Waits no longer than timeout milliseconds. If timeout is negative - wait forever. Returns current number of instances.
