auto_gcroot::operator bool
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at auto_gcroot::operator bool.
Operator for using auto_gcroot in a conditional expression.
Syntax
operator bool() const;
Return Value
true if the wrapped object is valid; false otherwise.
Remarks
This operator actually converts to _detail_class::_safe_bool which is safer than bool because it cannot be converted to an integral type.
Example
// msl_auto_gcroot_operator_bool.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <msclr\auto_gcroot.h>
using namespace System;
using namespace msclr;
int main() {
auto_gcroot<String^> s;
if ( s ) Console::WriteLine( "s is valid" );
if ( !s ) Console::WriteLine( "s is invalid" );
s = "something";
if ( s ) Console::WriteLine( "now s is valid" );
if ( !s ) Console::WriteLine( "now s is invalid" );
s.reset();
if ( s ) Console::WriteLine( "now s is valid" );
if ( !s ) Console::WriteLine( "now s is invalid" );
}
s is invalid
now s is valid
now s is invalid
