std::declare_reachable - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| | | | | ------------------------------------ | | -------------------------------- | | void declare_reachable( void* p ); | | (since C++11) (removed in C++23) |

Declares the object referenced by the pointer p reachable. Reachable objects will not be deleted by the garbage collector or considered to be a leak by a leak detector even if all pointers to it are destroyed. An object may be declared reachable multiple times, in which case multiple calls to std::undeclare_reachable would be needed to remove this property. For example, a XOR linked list needs to declare its nodes reachable if the implementation has garbage collection enabled.

[edit] Parameters

p - a safely-derived pointer or a null pointer

[edit] Return value

(none)

[edit] Exceptions

May throw std::bad_alloc if the system cannot allocate memory required to track reachable objects.
