Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class UT_COWWriteHandle< T >

A write handle can be thought of as a pointer to the actual data. It allows you to modify the underlying data. To do this, it will unique the plain-handle's data so no outstanding readlocks will be affected by the writes.

Building read handles while a write handle is active is valid so long as no dereference occurs during the lifetime of the read handle.

Examples:

field3d/f3d_io.C, GEO/GEO_VoxelTranslator.C, standalone/gengeovolume.C, and standalone/geo2voxel.C.

Passing write handles by value is fine as the users understand they all share the same underlying data, so is responsible for thread safety, etc.

template<typename T>

const UT_COWWriteHandle<Data>& UT_COWWriteHandle< T >::operator= ( UT_COWHandle< Data > *  src )

inline

Converting from a handle into a write handle can only be done once. This prevents other threads or methods from invalidating our uniqueness property. Note we up case from a pointer to a UT_COWHandle, not from a UT_COWHandle. This avoids people accidentally using an temporary as the source and underlines that write handles are like pointers while read handles are like values.

template<typename T>

void UT_COWWriteHandle< T >::resetHandle ( )

inline

Turns this into a null handle to drop references.
