NAME

ACE_Auto_String_Free - Simple class to automatically de-allocate strings

SYNOPSIS

#include <ace/SString.h>
class ACE_Auto_String_Free
{
  public:
    ACE_EXPLICIT ACE_Auto_String_Free (char* p = 0);
    ACE_Auto_String_Free (ACE_Auto_String_Free &rhs);
    ACE_Auto_String_Free& operator= (ACE_Auto_String_Free &rhs);
    ~ACE_Auto_String_Free (void);
    char* operator* () const;
    char operator[] (int i) const;
    char* get (void) const;
    char* release (void);
    void reset (char* p = 0);
  private:
    char* p_;
};

DESCRIPTION

Keeps a pointer to a string and deallocates it (using ACE_OS::free) on its destructor. If you need to delete using "delete[]" the ACE_Auto_Array_Ptrchar* is your choice. The class plays the same role as auto_ptr
