<h1>Overview</h1>
|
|
<p>Have you ever wanted to write a generic function that can operate
|
|
on any kind of dereferenceable object? If you have, you've
|
|
probably run into the problem of how to determine the type that the
|
|
object "points at":</p>
|
|
<pre class="literal-block">
|
|
template <class Dereferenceable>
|
|
void f(Dereferenceable p)
|
|
{
|
|
<em>what-goes-here?</em> value = *p;
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<div class="section" id="pointee">
|
|
<h2><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pointee</span></tt></h2>
|
|
<p>It turns out to be impossible to come up with a fully-general
|
|
algorithm to do determine <em>what-goes-here</em> directly, but it is
|
|
possible to require that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pointee<Dereferenceable>::type</span></tt> is
|
|
correct. Naturally, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pointee</span></tt> has the same difficulty: it can't
|
|
determine the appropriate <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">::type</span></tt> reliably for all
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Dereferenceable</span></tt>s, but it makes very good guesses (it works
|
|
for all pointers, standard and boost smart pointers, and
|
|
iterators), and when it guesses wrongly, it can be specialized as
|
|
necessary:</p>
|
|
<pre class="literal-block">
|
|
namespace boost
|
|
{
|
|
template <class T>
|
|
struct pointee<third_party_lib::smart_pointer<T> >
|
|
{
|
|
typedef T type;
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="indirect-reference">
|
|
<h2><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">indirect_reference</span></tt></h2>
|
|
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">indirect_reference<T>::type</span></tt> is rather more specialized than
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pointee</span></tt>, and is meant to be used to forward the result of
|
|
dereferencing an object of its argument type. Most dereferenceable
|
|
types just return a reference to their pointee, but some return
|
|
proxy references or return the pointee by value. When that
|
|
information is needed, call on <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">indirect_reference</span></tt>.</p>
|
|
<p>Both of these templates are essential to the correct functioning of
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="indirect_iterator.html"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">indirect_iterator</span></tt></a>.</p>
