Syntax

template<class ObjectType, ESPMode InMode>
class TSharedRef

Remarks

TSharedRef is a non-nullable, non-intrusive reference-counted authoritative object reference.

This shared reference will be conditionally thread-safe when the optional Mode template argument is set to ThreadSafe.

Forward declarations. By default, thread safety features are turned on. (Mode = ESPMode::ThreadSafe). If you need more concerned with performance of ref-counting, you should use ESPMode::NotThreadSafe.

Constructors

Name Description

Public function

TSharedRef()

Constructs default shared reference that owns the default object for specified type.

Public function

TSharedRef

(
    OtherType* InObject,
    DeleterType&& InDeleter
)

Constructs a shared reference that owns the specified object. Must not be nullptr.

Public function

TSharedRef

(
    TSharedRef< OtherType, Mode > const...,
    SharedPointerInternals::FStaticCast...
)

Special constructor used internally to statically cast one shared reference type to another.

Public function

TSharedRef

(
    TSharedRef< OtherType, Mode > const...,
    SharedPointerInternals::FConstCastT...
)

Special constructor used internally to cast a 'const' shared reference a 'mutable' reference.

Public function

TSharedRef

(
    TSharedRef< OtherType, Mode > const...,
    ObjectType* InObject
)

Aliasing constructor used to create a shared reference which shares its reference count with another shared object, but pointing to a different object, typically a subobject.

Public function

TSharedRef

(
    OtherType* InObject
)

NOTE: TSharedRef has no default constructor as it does not support empty references.
