weak_ptr是辅助shared_ptr的智能指针。
就像它的名字一样。是个“弱”指针;仅有几个接口。仅能完毕非常少工作。它能够从一个shared_ptr或weak_ptr对象构造。获取对资源的观測权。它是没有共享资源的,所以它的对象的创建不会引起指针引用计数的添加,它的对象的析构也不会引起计数器的降低。
它没有重载*和->。不能使用指针。基本的几个接口例如以下:
long use_count() const//返回计数器数值 bool expired() const//推断指针是否失效,也就是推断计数器是否为零 shared_ptr<T> lock() const//返回一个shared_ptr<T>指针 void reset()//重置weak_ptr void swap(weak_ptr<T> &b)//交换两个若指针
weak_ptr的一个重要用途是获得this指针的shared_ptr,使对象可以生产shared_ptr管理自己:对象使用weak_ptr观測this指针(不影响计数器)。在须要使用shared_ptr的时候调用lock()函数。
有一个类enable_shared_from_this<T>来帮助实现上述做法,它的头文件在<boost/enable_shared_from_this.hpp>中。主要声明:
template<class T> class enable_shared_from_this { public: shared_ptr<T> shared_from_this(); };在使用的时候继承它既可使用shared_from_this来获取shared_ptr对象。(要注意不能使用非shared_ptr对象类使用这个函数,这样会导致shared_from_this返回的对象在析构时使用delete来释放栈上内存)。
