Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class pmem::obj::experimental::v< T >

Volatile residing on pmem class.

v class is a property-like template class that has to be used for all volatile variables that reside on persistent memory. This class ensures that the enclosed type is always properly initialized by always calling the class default constructor exactly once per instance of the application.

This class has 8 bytes of storage overhead.

Example usage:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <libpmemobj++/experimental/v.hpp>
#include <libpmemobj++/persistent_ptr.hpp>
#include <libpmemobj++/pool.hpp>
 
using namespace pmem::obj;
using namespace pmem::obj::experimental;
 
struct foo {
    foo() : counter(10){};
    int counter;
};
 
/* pool root structure */
struct root {
    v<foo> f;
};
 
void
v_property_example(pool<root> &pop)
{
    auto proot = pop.root();
 
    assert(proot->f.get().counter == 10);
 
    proot->f.get().counter++;
 
    assert(proot->f.get().counter == 11);
}

Member Function Documentation

get()

template<typename T >

template<typename... Args>

T& pmem::obj::experimental::v< T >::get ( Args &&...  args )

inlinenoexcept

Retrieves reference to the object.

Parameters

[in]

args

forwarded to objects constructor. If object was constructed earlier during application lifetime (even with different arguments) no constructor is called.

Returns

a reference to the object.

operator=()

template<typename T >

template<typename Y , typename = typename std::enable_if< std::is_convertible<Y, T>::value>::type>

v& pmem::obj::experimental::v< T >::operator= ( v< Y > &  rhs )

inline

Converting assignment operator from a different v<>.

Available only for convertible types.

unsafe_get()

template<typename T >

T& pmem::obj::experimental::v< T >::unsafe_get ( )

inline

Retrieves reference to the object.

If object was not constructed (e.g. using get()) return value is unspecified.

Returns

a reference to the object.
