Simplifies managing non-owning references to LSA-managed objects. The
lsa::weak_ptr is a smart pointer which is not invalidated by LSA and
can be used safely in any allocator context. Dereferenced will always
give a valid reference.
This can be used as a building block for implementing cursors into
LSA-based caches.
Example simple use:
// LSA-managed
struct X : public lsa::weakly_referencable<X> {
int value;
};
lsa::weak_ptr<X> x_ptr = with_allocator(region(), [] {
X* x = current_allocator().construct<X>();
return x->weak_from_this();
});
std::cout << x_ptr->value;
