Detailed Description

template<typename _T_, typename... _Annotation_>
class knowCore::AnnotatedPointer< _T_, _Annotation_ >

Add annotation to a pointer.

Example of use:

The following create a new type of annotation to a pointer, which is a bool with a default true value. The intent is that if the annotation is true the pointer ownership is transfer to the called function.

template<typename _T_>
using TransferOwnershipAnnotation = knowCore::AnnotatedPointer<_T_,
knowCore::PointerAnnotation<bool, true>>; 

This annotation can be used like this:

class Monitor;
using AnnotatedMonitor = TransferOwnershipAnnotation<Monitor>

And then a new instance can be created:

AnnotatedMonitor am1(new Monitor, true);
AnnotatedMonitor am2(new Monitor, false);
 
if(am1.get<0>()) delete *am1;
if(am2.get<0>()) delete *am2;
