Struct template default_delete

boost::movelib::default_delete

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/move/default_delete.hpp>

template<typename T> 
struct default_delete {
  // construct/copy/destruct
  default_delete();
  default_delete(const default_delete &);
  template<typename U> default_delete(const default_delete< U > &) noexcept;
  default_delete & operator=(const default_delete &);
  template<typename U> 
    default_delete & operator=(const default_delete< U > &) noexcept;

  // public member functions
  template<typename U> void operator()(U *) const noexcept;
  void operator()(std::nullptr_t) const noexcept;
};

Description

The class template default_delete serves as the default deleter (destruction policy) for the class template unique_ptr.

Template Parameters

  1. typename T

    The type to be deleted. It may be an incomplete type

default_delete public construct/copy/destruct

  1. default_delete();

    Default constructor.

  2. default_delete(const default_delete &);

    Trivial copy constructor

  3. template<typename U> default_delete(const default_delete< U > &) noexcept;

    Effects: Constructs a default_delete object from another default_delete<U> object.

    Remarks: This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless:

    • If T is not an array type and U* is implicitly convertible to T*.

    • If T is an array type and U* is a more CV qualified pointer to remove_extent<T>::type.

  4. default_delete & operator=(const default_delete &);

    Trivial assignment

  5. template<typename U> 
      default_delete & operator=(const default_delete< U > &) noexcept;

    Effects: Constructs a default_delete object from another default_delete<U> object.

    Remarks: This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless:

    • If T is not an array type and U* is implicitly convertible to T*.

    • If T is an array type and U* is a more CV qualified pointer to remove_extent<T>::type.

default_delete public member functions

  1. template<typename U> void operator()(U * ptr) const noexcept;

    Effects: if T is not an array type, calls delete on static_cast<T*>(ptr), otherwise calls delete[] on static_cast<remove_extent<T>::type*>(ptr).

    Remarks: If U is an incomplete type, the program is ill-formed. This operator shall not participate in overload resolution unless:

    • T is not an array type and U* is convertible to T*, OR

    • T is an array type, and remove_cv<U>::type is the same type as remove_cv<remove_extent<T>::type>::type and U* is convertible to remove_extent<T>::type*.

  2. void operator()(std::nullptr_t) const noexcept;

    Effects: Same as (this)(static_cast<element_type>(nullptr)).
