DESCRIPTION

Class Summary

class RiMaterialSamplePointer
{
public:
// Constructors and assignment
RiMaterialSamplePointer(RiMaterialSample *sample) ;
RiMaterialSamplePointer(RiMaterialSamplePointer &rhs) ;
~RiMaterialSamplePointer() ;
// Accessors
RiMaterialSample *operator->() const ;
protected:
}; // RiMaterialSamplePointer

DESCRIPTION

The responsibility for deleting the RiMaterialSample falls to the Shader, a routine with many early exit points. This class encapsulates that responsibility, acting just like a pointer, but deleting the RiMaterialSample when it's destructor is called. The user need not worry about memory leaks. This class transfers ownership when copied (using the copy constructor). This means that after passing by value, the original will contain NULL.

RiMaterialSamplePointer(RiMaterialSample *sample) ;

Default Constructor

    RiMaterialSamplePointer(RiMaterialSample *sample)                 
;

Function is currently defined inline.

RiMaterialSamplePointer(RiMaterialSamplePointer &rhs) ;

 Copy Constructor (transfers ownership to the copy)

    RiMaterialSamplePointer(RiMaterialSamplePointer &rhs)                                    
;

Function is currently defined inline.

~RiMaterialSamplePointer() ;

 Destructor

    ~RiMaterialSamplePointer()               
;
