Detailed Description

template<typename T>
struct L4Re::Util::Ref_cap< T >

Automatic capability that implements automatic free and unmap of the capability selector.

Template Parameters

T	Type of the object that is referred by the capability.

This kind of automatic capability implements a counted reference to a capability selector. The capability shall be unmapped and freed when the reference count in the allocator goes to zero.

Usage:

L4Re::Util::Ref_cap<L4Re::Dataspace>::Cap global_ds_cap;
 
{
  L4Re::Util::Ref_cap<L4Re::Dataspace>::Cap
    ds_cap(L4Re::Util::cap_alloc.alloc<L4Re::Dataspace>());
  // reference count for the allocated cap selector is now 1
 
  // use the dataspace cap
  L4Re::chksys(mem_alloc->alloc(4096, ds_cap.get()));
 
  global_ds_cap = ds_cap;
  // reference count is now 2
  ...
}
// reference count dropped to 1 (ds_cap is no longer existing).
