Detailed Description

utility to store and request pointers, and to delete dynamically allocated objects, by name

use like so:

• create an object with new
• use insert() to store the pointer by name
  • if it exists, previous object is deleted and the pointer is replaced
• use get() to request the pointer by name
• use destroy() to delete the object and remove the pointer by name

Attention

type T is always the base type, not the pointer type (T*)

never delete objects manually with delete if they have been stored with insert()

Member Function Documentation

clear()

void yourgame::util::AssetManager::clear ( )

inline

clear content. delete all objects, remove all pointers

destroy() [1/2]

template<class T >

void yourgame::util::AssetManager::destroy ( )

inline

destroy (delete) all objects of type T, remove all pointers of type T*

Template Parameters

T	object type

destroy() [2/2]

template<class T >

void yourgame::util::AssetManager::destroy ( std::string  name )

inline

destroy (delete) object, remove pointer

Template Parameters

T	object type

Parameters

name

name

get()

template<class T >

T * yourgame::util::AssetManager::get ( std::string  name )

inline

request pointer by name

Template Parameters

T	object type

Parameters

name

name

Returns

pointer. nullptr, if no pointer of type T* and name exists

insert() [1/2]

template<class T >

bool yourgame::util::AssetManager::insert ( std::string  name, T *  obj  )

inline

insert pointer. if it exists (same type T and same name), previous object is deleted and the pointer is replaced. rejects nullptrs.

Attention

obj must be a pointer type

only insert pointer to object, that has been created with new

Template Parameters

T	object type

Parameters

name	name
obj	pointer

Returns

false, if obj was nullptr, true otherwise

insert() [2/2]

template<class T >

void yourgame::util::AssetManager::insert ( std::string  name, T  obj  )

inline

dummy for compile-time check (static_assert) of non-pointer type

Template Parameters

T	object type

Parameters

name	name
obj	pointer

numOf()

template<class T >

size_t yourgame::util::AssetManager::numOf ( )

inline

returns number of stored pointers of type T*

Template Parameters

T	object type

Returns

number of stored pointers of type T*
