- freebsd::FILE_up is a wrapper class for std::unique_ptr<> for FILE objects which uses a custom deleter that calls fclose(). - freebsd::malloc_up<T> is a wrapper class for std::unique_ptr<> which uses a custom deleter that calls free(). It is useful for pointers allocated by malloc() such as strdup(). - The freebsd::stringf() functions return a std::string constructed using a printf format string. The current implementation of freebsd::stringf() uses fwopen() where the write function appends to a std::string.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm freebsd::malloc_up
|
|
.Nd std::unique_ptr specialization for objects allocated via malloc
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libutil++
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libutil++.hh
|
|
.Ft using malloc_up = std::unique_ptr<T, free_deleter<T>>;
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This class is a specialization of
|
|
.Vt std::unique_ptr
|
|
which invokes
|
|
.Xr free 3
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Fn delete
|
|
when an object is disposed.
|
|
While explicit calls to
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
should be avoided in C++ code,
|
|
this class can be useful to manage an object allocated by an existing API
|
|
which uses
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
internally such as
|
|
.Xr scandir 3 .
|
|
Note that the type of the underlying object must be used as the first
|
|
template argument similar to std::unique_ptr.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
This example uses
|
|
.Xr strdup 3
|
|
for simplicity,
|
|
but new C++ code should generally not use
|
|
.Xr strdup 3 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
freebsd::malloc_up<char> my_string(strdup("foo"));
|
|
// `mystring' is implicitly freed on destruction
