That * is, it will not necessarily delete the pointee when the * reference count goes to zero. * * \par * Ownership of a std::istream is passed to an IStreamHandle via a * std::auto_ptr. Ownership of a * std::istream is passed between IStreamHandle by assignment. * * \see IStreamHandle(std::auto_ptr) for passing * ownership at construction. * \see IStreamHandle::operator=(std::auto_ptr) for * passing ownership after construction. * \see IStreamHandle(std::istream&) for constructing without * passing ownership * \see IStreamHandle::operator=(std::istream&) for assigning * without passing ownership. * * \par Justification: * * \par * This class is needed to fix an ownership problem between the * InputSource and EntityResovler classes. InputSource is a SAX * class designed to wrap stream objects. Normally, an * InputSource is constructed with reference to a std::istream * object. There are two separate use-cases for InputSource which * lead to conflicting models of std::istream ownership. * * \par * -# When an InputSource is constructed to pass to a parser * parse() method, the InputSource is owned by * the client code. When parse() returns, the * InputSource is no-longer needed and it's stream can be * destroyed by the client code. This will most likely * happen when the variable goes out of scope). * -# When an EntityResolver responds to a * resolveEntity() request, it must return an * InputSource. In this case the InputSource, and more * importantly, the std::istream, is needed by the parser for * some time after resolveEntity() has returned. * * \par * In case 1, the std::istream in question may be local variable, * and so the InputSource simply cannot own it. * * \par * In case 2, the std::istream in question cannot be a local * variable because it must be returned from a method. Since it * must be destroyed at some time known only to the parser, there * is no alternative but for the InputSource to own it. * * \par Solution: * * \par * To solve this issue, I have created the IStreamHandle and * modified InputSource. IStreamHandle can behave either as a * std::istream* or as a reference-counting std::istream*. * The difference is in ownership: * * \par * If an IStreamHandle is constructed with or assigned a * std::auto_ptr, it takes ownership of * the pointee. If an IStreamHandle is constructed with or * assigned a std::istream&, it does not take * ownership of the pointee. * * \par * Upon destruction or re-assignment, an IStreamHandle checks * whether it is the last reference to its pointee, and * whether it owns its pointee. If both conditions * are met, the IStreamHandle deletes its pointee. * * @author Philip Walford * \par Created: * 21/05/2003 * * * * * * \internal * \par Pre- and Post-Conditions * All public API methods of IStreamHandle conform to the following * post-condition: * - counter_ points to a valid heap-allocated integer greater * than 0. * * \par * All public API methods of IStreamHandle that take an * auto_ptr parameter conform to the follow post-conditions. * For the purposes of these post-conditions, rhs will represent * the std::auto_ptr parameter. * - is_ contains the value returned by rhs.release(). * - rhs.get() == 0 (ownership has been transfered). * - owner_ = true * * \par * All public API methods of IStreamHandle that take a std::istream& * parameter conform to the follow post-conditions.
