Detailed Description

Reference-counting pointers.

Template class Gyoto::SmartPointer<T> performs reference counting on its pointee and makes sure the pointed to object is actually deleted when the number of references to it drops to zero. The pointed-to object must inherit from Gyoto::SmartPointee for this to work and be referenced to only by SmartPointers.

class Gyoto::Metric : public Gyoto::SmartPointee {...}
SmartPointer<Gyoto::Metric::Generic> ObjPtr (new Gyoto::Metric(...))
