Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class com::softwareag::connectivity::custom_t< T >

A wrapper type for holding arbitrary objects inside a data_t.

It behaves like a std::unique_ptr with an explict copy method and will delete the contents when destroyed unless they are moved out first.

The wrapped class must have a nothrow destructor and a nothrow copy constructor.

You must ensure that you extract your object with the same type that was inserted, or the behaviour is undefined. If you have a hierarchy of objects and you need to determine the type at runtime then you must extract as a custom_t<BaseClass> and then dynamic_cast or call virtual methods to determine the type. This means you must have a virtual hierarchy of objects.

This can be used with get<> or get_custom<> to retrieve the contents of a data_t:

get<custom_t<MyClass> >(data); get_custom<MyClass>(data);

however visitors will still visit a sag_underlying_custom_t& which can be cast to a custom_t<MyClass>&.
