Improve alignment of its behaviour with std::unique_ptr
- element_type typedef
- release() method - identical to ptr() method
- get() method to get the pointer without checking and without releasing it.
- operator*() for dereferencing
Method name changes
- renamed rawPtr() to get()
- renamed rawRef() to ref(), removed unused const version.
Removed methods/operators
- assignment from a raw pointer was deleted (was rarely used).
Can be convenient, but uncontrolled and potentially unsafe.
Do allow assignment from a literal nullptr though, since this
can never leak (and also corresponds to the unique_ptr API).
Additional methods
- clone() method: forwards to the clone() method of the underlying
data object with argument forwarding.
- reset(autoPtr&&) as an alternative to operator=(autoPtr&&)
STYLE: avoid implicit conversion from autoPtr to object type in many places
- existing implementation has the following:
operator const T&() const { return operator*(); }
which means that the following code works:
autoPtr<mapPolyMesh> map = ...;
updateMesh(*map); // OK: explicit dereferencing
updateMesh(map()); // OK: explicit dereferencing
updateMesh(map); // OK: implicit dereferencing
for clarity it may preferable to avoid the implicit dereferencing
- prefer operator* to operator() when deferenced a return value
so it is clearer that a pointer is involve and not a function call
etc Eg, return *meshPtr_; vs. return meshPtr_();

2008-10-23 Contents: surfaceAdd - adds to surface files. (but does not intersect or anything) surfaceBooleanOp - Boolean operations (add, or, xor) on closed surfaces. Probably not working. surfaceCheck - checks surface for incorrect topology. Checks normals of neighbouring faces. surfaceCoarsen - Stan Melax coarsening algorithm surfaceConvert - Converts surfaces to/from various formats surfaceFind - Finds nearest vertex and face to given point. surfaceMeshTriangulate - Triangulate external faces of mesh and write as surface. surfacePointMerge - Explicit point merge of surface. surfaceSetOutside - Orient normals on (closed) surface. surfaceSmooth - Laplacian smoothing on surface vertices surfaceSubset - Subsets surface surfaceToPatch - Applies region information of surfaces to mesh. Each external face of mesh gets region number of nearest surface triangle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- surfaceMeshConvert - Similar to surfaceConvert, but uses surfMesh library
