Detailed Description
template<class T>
class vtkWeakPointer< T >
a weak reference to a vtkObject.
A weak reference to a vtkObject, which means that assigning a vtkObject to the vtkWeakPointer does not affect the reference count of the vtkObject. However, when the vtkObject is destroyed, the vtkWeakPointer gets initialized to NULL, thus avoiding any dangling references.
vtkTable *table = vtkTable::New(); vtkWeakPointer<vtkTable> weakTable = table;
Some time later the table may be deleted, but if it is tested for null then the weak pointer will not leave a dangling pointer.
table->Delete(); if (weakTable) { // Never executed as the weak table pointer will be null here cout << "Number of columns in table: " << weakTable->GetNumberOfColumns() << endl; }
