thrust::system::tbb::pointer

Defined in thrust/system/tbb/pointer.h

template<typename T>
using thrust::system::tbb::pointer = thrust::pointer<T, thrust::system::tbb::tag, thrust::tagged_reference<T, thrust::system::tbb::tag>>

tbb::pointer stores a pointer to an object allocated in memory accessible by the tbb system. This type provides type safety when dispatching algorithms on ranges resident in tbb memory.

tbb::pointer has pointer semantics: it may be dereferenced and manipulated with pointer arithmetic.

tbb::pointer can be created with the function tbb::malloc, or by explicitly calling its constructor with a raw pointer.

The raw pointer encapsulated by a tbb::pointer may be obtained by eiter its get member function or the raw_pointer_cast function.

Note

tbb::pointer is not a “smart” pointer; it is the programmer’s responsibility to deallocate memory pointed to by tbb::pointer.

Template Parameters

T – specifies the type of the pointee.
