I'm trying to wrap Cairo with intrusive_ptr
.
As the things in Cairo already have reference counting, I wrote a very simple wrap:
#include <boost/intrusive_ptr.hpp>
inline void intrusive_ptr_add_ref(cairo_surface_t* self)
{
cairo_surface_reference(self);
}
inline void intrusive_ptr_release(cairo_surface_t* self)
{
cairo_surface_destroy(self);
}
inline void intrusive_ptr_add_ref(cairo_t* self)
{
cairo_reference(self);
}
inline void intruisve_ptr_release(cairo_t* self)
{
cairo_destroy(self);
}
namespace XXX
{
typedef boost::intrusive_ptr<cairo_surface_t> CairoSurfacePtr;
typedef boost::intrusive_ptr<cairo_t> CairoPtr;
}
However, when I try to create an instance of CairoPtr
, it seems that the compiler used the function for cairo_surface_t
instead of cairo_t
:
/usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/intrusive_ptr.hpp: In instantiation of 'boost::intrusive_ptr<T>::~intrusive_ptr() [with T = _cairo]':
../GenoEyeCandy/genoeyewidget.cpp:12:18: required from here
/usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/intrusive_ptr.hpp:97:49: error: cannot convert '_cairo*' to 'cairo_surface_t* {aka _cairo_surface*}' for argument '1' to 'void intrusive_ptr_release(cairo_surface_t*)'
if( px != 0 ) intrusive_ptr_release( px );
I just can't understand why the compiler failed to locate the correct function.
It's because I mis-spelled the intruisve_ptr_release
. As a result, there's only one function named intrusive_ptr_release
, which has argument type cairo_surface_t*
.
Damn it...
