Struct template pointer_plus_bits<T *, NumBits>

boost::intrusive::pointer_plus_bits<T *, NumBits>

Synopsis

template<typename T, std::size_t NumBits> 
struct pointer_plus_bits<T *, NumBits> {
  // types
  typedef T * pointer;

  // public static functions
  static pointer get_pointer(pointer) ;
  static void set_pointer(pointer &, pointer) ;
  static std::size_t get_bits(pointer) ;
  static void set_bits(pointer &, std::size_t) ;
  static const std::size_t Mask;
};

Description

This is the specialization to embed extra bits of information in a raw pointer. The extra bits are stored in the lower bit of the pointer.

pointer_plus_bits public static functions

  1. static pointer get_pointer(pointer n) ;
  2. static void set_pointer(pointer & n, pointer p) ;
  3. static std::size_t get_bits(pointer n) ;
  4. static void set_bits(pointer & n, std::size_t c) ;
