Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class icu::LocalPointer< T >

"Smart pointer" class, deletes objects via the standard C++ delete operator.

For most methods see the LocalPointerBase base class.

Usage example:

int32_t length=s->length(); // 2
char16_t lead=s->charAt(0); // 0xd900
if(some condition) { return; } // no need to explicitly delete the pointer
s.adoptInstead(new UnicodeString((char16_t)0xfffc));
length=s->length(); // 1
// no need to explicitly delete the pointer
"Smart pointer" base class; do not use directly: use LocalPointer etc.
void adoptInstead(T *p)
Deletes the object it owns, and adopts (takes ownership of) the one passed in.
UnicodeString is a string class that stores Unicode characters directly and provides similar function...
Definition unistr.h:296
int32_t UChar32
Define UChar32 as a type for single Unicode code points.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LocalPointer() [1/4]

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( T * p = nullptr)
inlineexplicit

Constructor takes ownership.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
Stable
ICU 4.4

Definition at line 200 of file localpointer.h.

◆ LocalPointer() [2/4]

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( T * p,
UErrorCode & errorCode )
inline

Constructor takes ownership and reports an error if nullptr.

This constructor is intended to be used with other-class constructors that may report a failure UErrorCode, so that callers need to check only for U_FAILURE(errorCode) and not also separately for isNull().

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
errorCodein/out UErrorCode, set to U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR if p==nullptr and no other failure code had been set
Stable
ICU 55

Definition at line 214 of file localpointer.h.

References U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR, and U_SUCCESS.

◆ LocalPointer() [3/4]

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( LocalPointer< T > && src)
inlinenoexcept

Move constructor, leaves src with isNull().

Parameters
srcsource smart pointer
Stable
ICU 56

Definition at line 224 of file localpointer.h.

References icu::LocalPointerBase< T >::ptr.

◆ LocalPointer() [4/4]

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::LocalPointer ( std::unique_ptr< T > && p)
inlineexplicit

Constructs a LocalPointer from a C++11 std::unique_ptr.

The LocalPointer steals the object owned by the std::unique_ptr.

This constructor works via move semantics. If your std::unique_ptr is in a local variable, you must use std::move.

Parameters
pThe std::unique_ptr from which the pointer will be stolen.
Stable
ICU 64

Definition at line 238 of file localpointer.h.

◆ ~LocalPointer()

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::~LocalPointer ( )
inline

Destructor deletes the object it owns.

ICU 4.4

Definition at line 245 of file localpointer.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ adoptInstead()

template<typename T >
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::adoptInstead ( T * p)
inline

Deletes the object it owns, and adopts (takes ownership of) the one passed in.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
Stable
ICU 4.4

Definition at line 300 of file localpointer.h.

◆ adoptInsteadAndCheckErrorCode()

template<typename T >
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::adoptInsteadAndCheckErrorCode ( T * p,
UErrorCode & errorCode )
inline

Deletes the object it owns, and adopts (takes ownership of) the one passed in.

If U_FAILURE(errorCode), then the current object is retained and the new one deleted.

If U_SUCCESS(errorCode) but the input pointer is nullptr, then U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR is set, the current object is deleted, and nullptr is set.

Parameters
psimple pointer to an object that is adopted
errorCodein/out UErrorCode, set to U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR if p==nullptr and no other failure code had been set
Stable
ICU 55

◆ operator std::unique_ptr< T >()

template<typename T >
icu::LocalPointer< T >::operator std::unique_ptr< T > ( ) &&
inline

Conversion operator to a C++11 std::unique_ptr.

Disowns the object and gives it to the returned std::unique_ptr.

This operator works via move semantics. If your LocalPointer is in a local variable, you must use std::move.

Returns
An std::unique_ptr owning the pointer previously owned by this icu::LocalPointer.
Stable
ICU 64

Definition at line 342 of file localpointer.h.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

template<typename T >
LocalPointer< T > & icu::LocalPointer< T >::operator= ( LocalPointer< T > && src)
inlinenoexcept

Move assignment operator, leaves src with isNull().

The behavior is undefined if *this and src are the same object.

Parameters
srcsource smart pointer
Returns
*this
Stable
ICU 56

Definition at line 255 of file localpointer.h.

◆ operator=() [2/2]

template<typename T >
LocalPointer< T > & icu::LocalPointer< T >::operator= ( std::unique_ptr< T > && p)
inlinenoexcept

Move-assign from an std::unique_ptr to this LocalPointer.

Steals the pointer from the std::unique_ptr.

Parameters
pThe std::unique_ptr from which the pointer will be stolen.
Returns
*this
Stable
ICU 64

Definition at line 270 of file localpointer.h.

◆ swap()

template<typename T >
void icu::LocalPointer< T >::swap ( LocalPointer< T > & other)
inlinenoexcept

Swap pointers.

Parameters
otherother smart pointer
