Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class icu::LocalPointer< T >

"Smart pointer" class, deletes objects via the standard C++ delete operator.

For most methods see the LocalPointerBase base class.

Usage example:

int32_t length=s->length(); // 2
char16_t lead=s->charAt(0); // 0xd900
if(some condition) { return; } // no need to explicitly delete the pointer
s.adoptInstead(new UnicodeString((char16_t)0xfffc));
length=s->length(); // 1
// no need to explicitly delete the pointer
"Smart pointer" class, deletes objects via the standard C++ delete operator.

UnicodeString is a string class that stores Unicode characters directly and provides similar function...
Definition: unistr.h:296
int32_t UChar32

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LocalPointer() [1/4]

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( T *  p = NULL)
inlineexplicit

Constructor takes ownership.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
Stable:
ICU 4.4

Definition at line 200 of file localpointer.h.

◆ LocalPointer() [2/4]

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( T *  p,
UErrorCode errorCode 
)
inline

Constructor takes ownership and reports an error if NULL.

This constructor is intended to be used with other-class constructors that may report a failure UErrorCode, so that callers need to check only for U_FAILURE(errorCode) and not also separately for isNull().

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
errorCodein/out UErrorCode, set to U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR if p==NULL and no other failure code had been set
Stable:
ICU 55

Definition at line 214 of file localpointer.h.

References NULL, U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR, and U_SUCCESS.

◆ LocalPointer() [3/4]

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( LocalPointer< T > &&  src)
inline

Move constructor, leaves src with isNull().

Parameters
srcsource smart pointer
Stable:
ICU 56

Definition at line 224 of file localpointer.h.

References NULL, and icu::LocalPointerBase< T >::ptr.

◆ LocalPointer() [4/4]

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( std::unique_ptr< T > &&  p)
inlineexplicit

Constructs a LocalPointer from a C++11 std::unique_ptr.

The LocalPointer steals the object owned by the std::unique_ptr.

This constructor works via move semantics. If your std::unique_ptr is in a local variable, you must use std::move.

Parameters
pThe std::unique_ptr from which the pointer will be stolen.
Stable:
ICU 64

Definition at line 238 of file localpointer.h.

◆ ~LocalPointer()

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::~LocalPointer ( )
inline

Destructor deletes the object it owns.

Stable:
ICU 4.4

Definition at line 245 of file localpointer.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ adoptInstead()

template<typename T >
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::adoptInstead ( T *  p)
inline

Deletes the object it owns, and adopts (takes ownership of) the one passed in.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
Stable:
ICU 4.4

Definition at line 300 of file localpointer.h.

◆ adoptInsteadAndCheckErrorCode()

template<typename T >
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::adoptInsteadAndCheckErrorCode ( T *  p,
UErrorCode errorCode 
)
inline

Deletes the object it owns, and adopts (takes ownership of) the one passed in.

If U_FAILURE(errorCode), then the current object is retained and the new one deleted.

If U_SUCCESS(errorCode) but the input pointer is NULL, then U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR is set, the current object is deleted, and NULL is set.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
errorCodein/out UErrorCode, set to U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR if p==NULL and no other failure code had been set
Stable:
ICU 55

Definition at line 319 of file localpointer.h.

References NULL, U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR, and U_SUCCESS.

◆ operator std::unique_ptr< T >()

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::operator std::unique_ptr< T > ( ) &&
inline

Conversion operator to a C++11 std::unique_ptr.

Disowns the object and gives it to the returned std::unique_ptr.

This operator works via move semantics. If your LocalPointer is in a local variable, you must use std::move.

Returns
An std::unique_ptr owning the pointer previously owned by this icu::LocalPointer.
Stable:
ICU 64

Definition at line 342 of file localpointer.h.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

template<typename T >
LocalPointer< T > & icu::LocalPointer< T >::operator= ( LocalPointer< T > &&  src)
inline

Move assignment operator, leaves src with isNull().

The behavior is undefined if *this and src are the same object.

Parameters
srcsource smart pointer
Returns
*this
Stable:
ICU 56

Definition at line 255 of file localpointer.h.

References NULL, and icu::LocalPointerBase< T >::ptr.

◆ operator=() [2/2]

template<typename T >
LocalPointer< T > & icu::LocalPointer< T >::operator= ( std::unique_ptr< T > &&  p)
inline

Move-assign from an std::unique_ptr to this LocalPointer.

Steals the pointer from the std::unique_ptr.

Parameters
pThe std::unique_ptr from which the pointer will be stolen.
Returns
*this
Stable:
ICU 64

Definition at line 270 of file localpointer.h.

◆ swap()

template<typename T >
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::swap ( LocalPointer< T > &  other)
inline

Swap pointers.

Parameters
otherother smart pointer
Stable:
ICU 56

Definition at line 280 of file localpointer.h.
