Hello,
I have some problems with smart pointers. I want to have smart pointer,
copy_ptr in this case in my class like this:
class Entity
{
protected:
.....
copy_ptr<Proper tyBagmPropertie s; // <- PropertyBag is a class here
.....
public:
Entity(const std::string &Id, const std::string &Type);
~Entity();
The problem is that the compiler returns an error:
Error 1 error C2512: 'copy_ptr<T>' : no appropriate default constructor
available. Should I use another declaration here ? If I try:
copy_ptr<Proper tyBag*mProperti es; then compiler doesn't throw any error
but I don't know if it fullfil its role because then I could write
PropertyBag *mProperties and don't have any smart pointer.
Thanks in advance.

Or maybe it is a problem with this particular smart pointer that lacks
something ?
template<typena me T>
class copy_ptr
{
T * ( *m_clone_fct ) ( T *, bool);
T* m_type;
public:
//Constructor will only clone type that is pass to the constructor
template<typena me T_obj>
copy_ptr(T_obj* type):m_type(ty pe),
m_clone_fct(Con structAndDestru ct<T,T_obj, std::allocator< T_obj ){}
template<typena me T_obj, class AX_TYPE>
copy_ptr(T_obj* type, AX_TYPE):m_type (type),
m_clone_fct(Con structAndDestru ct<T,T_obj, AX_TYPE){}
//Destructor
~copy_ptr(){m_t ype=m_clone_fct (m_type, false);}
//Copy constructor
copy_ptr(const copy_ptr& Src):m_type(Src .m_clone_fct(Sr c.m_type, true)),
m_clone_fct(Src .m_clone_fct){}

Yes.
At that, there is no constructor for an empty pointer. copy_ptr wants to
hold a pointer to an object. If you had:
copy_ptr<Classp = new Class;
It works.
PropertyBag would not exist with your code if there were a null pointer
constructor. But if you knew that...
class Entity
{
protected:
PropertyBag* pPB;
public:
Entity(...):pPB ( null_ptr ) { ... }
~Entity( ) { if( pPB /*!= null_ptr*/ ) { delete pPB; }
};
Best, Dan.

The copy_ptr you are using seems to require a valid pointee (i.e.,
deliberately does not support 0-pointers). In that case, you need to create
a pointee, like
copy_ptr< PropertyBag mProperties( new PropertyBag );
However, the whole point of using a copy_ptr instead of an object of type
PropertyBag is that the copy_ptr could have a poinee of type derived from
PropertyBag. If you want to make use of that, you should probably postpone
the declaration of mProperties until you know which type to use in the new
expression. If you don't want to make use of polymorphism, a simple member
object of type PropertyBag should do just fine.

Yeap, I've used smart pointer in the stl vector to hold derived classes as
well. The main reason from changing *PropertyBag to its smart pointer
version was that when I tried to push back this class into the vector I got
memory violation error. Finally I've changed that smart pointer to
shared_ptr from boost library and it's working fine...for now :-).

Hi,
I was wondering, since STL containers are based around copying, whether
it's a good idea to use reference counted smart pointers, such as
boost::shared_ptr in STL containers.
I can't store the objects directly in a container, because they must
not be duplicated, so I have to use pointers. I'm just not certain about
using raw pointers or some kind of smart pointer.
Regards,

In Effective STL item 8, it said 'Never create cointainers of
auto_ptrs'.
But in the Boost shared_ptr_example.cpp example, it creates a stl
vector of smart pointer.
Why it is okay in this case?
Here is part the code:
struct Foo

Hi,
I am in need of a deep copy smart pointer (Boost doesn't provide one)
which doesnt require the contained types to have a virtual copy
constructor. I wrote a smart pointer class that I think meets these
requirements, but after reading the chapter on exceptions in
'Exceptional C++':Sutter, I am not sure if its is really Exception safe
or Exception Neutral. I suppose putting the theory in that chapter into
practice isn't trivial.

A few days a ago I posted my code for a deep copy pointer which
doesn't require the pointee object to have a virtual copy constructor.
I need help with checking that it was exception safe and exception
neutral/
I got a reply from Bux with his code for a smart pointer with far fewer
lines of code
and more cleaner design, not over engineered like mine.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
