boost::container::small_vector_base
// In header: <boost/container/small_vector.hpp> template<typename T, typename SecondaryAllocator> class small_vector_base : public boost::container::vector< T, small_vector_allocator< SecondaryAllocator > > { public: // construct/copy/destruct small_vector_base & operator=(const small_vector_base &); small_vector_base & operator=(small_vector_base &&); // public member functions void swap(small_vector_base &); };
This class consists of common code from all small_vector<T, N> types that don't depend on the "N" template parameter. This class is non-copyable and non-destructible, so this class typically used as reference argument to functions that read or write small vectors. Since small_vector<T, N>
derives from small_vector_base<T>
, the conversion to small_vector_base
is implicit
//Clients can pass any small_vector<Foo, N>. void read_any_small_vector_of_foo(const small_vector_base<Foo> &in_parameter); void modify_any_small_vector_of_foo(small_vector_base<Foo> &in_out_parameter); void some_function() { small_vector<Foo, 8> myvector; read_any_small_vector_of_foo(myvector); // Reads myvector modify_any_small_vector_of_foo(myvector); // Modifies myvector }
All boost::container:vector
member functions are inherited. See vector
documentation for details.
