Detailed Description

template<class T>
struct regina::FuncNewClonePtr< T >

An adaptable unary function used to create objects using the clone() method.

This class is for use with the Standard Template Library.

Note that the template argument need not be a pointer class. If the template argument is T, this unary function will accept a pointer to T and call clone() upon the corresponding object, returning a pointer to the newly created clone of type T.

Precondition

Type T has method T* clone() const. The declared return type may be different, but the result must be castable to T*.

Python:

Not present.
