我需要类似shared_ptr
的对象,但是当我尝试访问其成员时会自动创建一个真实的对象。
例如,我有:
class Box
{
public:
unsigned int width;
unsigned int height;
Box(): width(50), height(100){}
};
std::vector< lazy<Box> > boxes;
boxes.resize(100);
// at this point boxes contain no any real Box object.
// But when I try to access box number 50, for example,
// it will be created.
std::cout << boxes[49].width;
// now vector contains one real box and 99 lazy boxes.
是否有一些实现,还是我应该编写自己的实现?
最佳答案
推出自己的作品很少。
template<typename T>
class lazy {
public:
lazy() : child(0) {}
~lazy() { delete child; }
T &operator*() {
if (!child) child = new T;
return *child;
}
// might dereference NULL pointer if unset...
// but if this is const, what else can be done?
const T &operator*() const { return *child; }
T *operator->() { return &**this; }
const T *operator->() const { return &**this; }
private:
T *child;
};
// ...
cout << boxes[49]->width;
