CAutoVectorPtr Class

This class represents a smart pointer object using vector new and delete operators.

Important

This class and its members cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime.

template< 
typename T 
> class CAutoVectorPtr

Parameters

• T
  The pointer type.

Members

Public Constructors

Name	Description
CAutoVectorPtr::CAutoVectorPtr	The constructor.
CAutoVectorPtr::~CAutoVectorPtr	The destructor.

Public Methods

Name	Description
CAutoVectorPtr::Allocate	Call this method to allocate the memory required by the array of objects pointed to by CAutoVectorPtr.
CAutoVectorPtr::Attach	Call this method to take ownership of an existing pointer.
CAutoVectorPtr::Detach	Call this method to release ownership of a pointer.
CAutoVectorPtr::Free	Call this method to delete an object pointed to by a CAutoVectorPtr.

Public Operators

Name	Description
CAutoVectorPtr::operator T *	The cast operator.
CAutoVectorPtr::operator =	The assignment operator.

Public Data Members

Name	Description
CAutoVectorPtr::m_p	The pointer data member variable.

Remarks

This class provides methods for creating and managing a smart pointer, which will help protect against memory leaks by automatically freeing resources when it falls out of scope. CAutoVectorPtr is similar to CAutoPtr, the only difference being that CAutoVectorPtr uses vector new[] and vector delete[] to allocate and free memory instead of the C++ new and delete operators. See CAutoVectorPtrElementTraits if collection classes of CAutoVectorPtr are required.

See CAutoPtr for an example of using a smart pointer class.
