Detailed Description

template<class T>
class opencascade::handle< T >

Intrusive smart pointer for use with Standard_Transient class and its descendants.

This class is similar to boost::intrusive_ptr<>. The reference counter is part of the base class (Standard_Transient), thus creation of a handle does not require allocation of additional memory for the counter. All handles to the same object share the common counter; object is deleted when the last handle pointing on it is destroyed. It is safe to create a new handle from plain C pointer to the object already pointed by another handle. The same object can be referenced by handles of different types (as soon as they are compatible with the object type).

Handle has type cast operator to const reference to handle to the base types, which allows it to be passed by reference in functions accepting reference to handle to base class, without copying.

By default, the type cast operator is provided also for non-const reference. These casts (potentially unsafe) can be disabled by defining macro OCCT_HANDLE_NOCAST; if it is defined, generalized copy constructor and assignment operators are defined allowing to initialize handle of base type from handle to derived type.

Weak pointers are not supported.
