CAutoPtr::Attach

 

Call this method to take ownership of an existing pointer.

Syntax

      void Attach(
   T* p 
) throw( );

Parameters

  • p
    The CAutoPtr object will take ownership of this pointer.

Remarks

When a CAutoPtr object takes ownership of a pointer, it will automatically delete the pointer and any allocated data when it goes out of scope. If CAutoPtr::Detach is called, the programmer is again given responsibility for freeing any allocated resources.

In debug builds, an assertion failure will occur if the CAutoPtr::m_p data member currently points to an existing value; that is, it is not equal to NULL.

Example

See the example in the CAutoPtr Overview.
