PEGASUS_NAMESPACE_BEGIN

/**
    This class provides a convenient way of disposing of a heap object.
    It automatically deletes the enclosed pointer on destruction. For
    example:

    <pre>
	A* a = new A;
	Destroyer<A> dummy = a;
    </pre>

    When the destroyer object destructs, it frees the instance of A.
    This is particularly useful when a function has multiple returns.

    There are two classes here: Destroyer<> and ArrayDestroyer<>. The
    ArrayDestroyer<> class is used when a pointer must be deleted using the 
    array form as shown below:

    <pre>
	delete [] ptr;
    <pre>
*/
template<class T>
class Destroyer
{
public:

    Destroyer(T* ptr) : _ptr(ptr) { }

    ~Destroyer() { delete _ptr; }

    T* getPointer() { return _ptr; }

private:

    Destroyer(const Destroyer&) { }

    Destroyer& operator=(const Destroyer&) { return *this; }

    T* _ptr;
};

template<class T>
class ArrayDestroyer
{
public:

    ArrayDestroyer(T* ptr) : _ptr(ptr) { }

    ~ArrayDestroyer() { delete [] _ptr; }

    T* getPointer() { return _ptr; }

    ArrayDestroyer(const ArrayDestroyer<T>&) { }

    ArrayDestroyer<T>& operator=(const ArrayDestroyer<T>&) { return *this; }

private:

    T* _ptr;
};
