Detailed Description

VSG extension Handle memory buffer with reference counter.

This object encapsulates a memory buffer with a reference counter, allowing it to be shared across multiple objects. The buffer will be released when no more references to it exist.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ CopyPolicy

SoMemoryObject may be manipulating large amounts of memory.

It is therefore convenient to be able to set the memory usage policy.

Enumerator
COPY 

Open Inventor will make a copy of the data.

NO_COPY 

Passed buffer used, user will delete.

NO_COPY_AND_DELETE 

Passed buffer used, SoMemoryObject will delete.

Use this if memory is allocated with operator "new[]".

NO_COPY_AND_FREE 

Passed buffer used, SoMemoryObject will free.

Use this if memory is allocated with "malloc".

Definition at line 78 of file SoMemoryObject.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SoMemoryObject() [1/4]

SoMemoryObject::SoMemoryObject ( )

Default Constructor.

No memory area is handled, but default parameters are set to a type of SbDataType::UNSIGNED_BYTE and a CopyPolicy of NO_COPY_AND_DELETE

◆ SoMemoryObject() [2/4]

SoMemoryObject::SoMemoryObject ( void *  buf,
size_t  byteSize,
bool  owner = true 
)

Constructor.

Takes the object to manage.
Default type will be assigned to UNSIGNED_BYTE. if owner flag is true, Policy will be set to NO_COPY_AND_FREE , then the memory area pointed to by buf should be allocated by malloc/realloc C function in order to be correctly deleted during unref. else policy is NO_COPY (disables automatic release of the managed buffer).

◆ SoMemoryObject() [3/4]

SoMemoryObject::SoMemoryObject ( void *  buf,
size_t  byteSize,
SbDataType  type,
CopyPolicy  policy 
)

Constructor.

Takes the object to manage.

◆ SoMemoryObject() [4/4]

SoMemoryObject::SoMemoryObject ( SoBufferObject bufObj,
SbDataType  type = SbDataType::UNSIGNED_BYTE,
bool  owner = true 
)

Constructor.

Takes the buffer object to manage.
Policy is NO_COPY_AND_DELETE if owner flag is true, else policy is NO_COPY (disables automatic release of the buffer object).

◆ ~SoMemoryObject()

virtual SoMemoryObject::~SoMemoryObject ( )
virtual

Destructor.

It will be called when there are no more references to this object. It will destroy the managed buffer as well.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get()

void * SoMemoryObject::get ( ) const

Returns a pointer to the encapsulated buffer.

◆ getType()

SbDataType SoMemoryObject::getType ( ) const
inline

Returns the type of the encapsulated buffer.

Definition at line 204 of file SoMemoryObject.h.

◆ length()

size_t SoMemoryObject::length ( ) const

Returns the size in bytes of the encapsulated buffer.
