13// We use this class for didactic purposes: upon copy, a line is printed to the terminal.
14class UponCopyPrinter {
15public:
16 UponCopyPrinter() = default;
17 UponCopyPrinter(UponCopyPrinter &&) = default;
18 UponCopyPrinter(const UponCopyPrinter &) { std::cout << "Invoking copy c'tor!" << std::endl; }

24 // One of the essential features of RVec is its ability of adopting and owning memory.
25
26 // Let's create an RVec of UponCopyPrinter instances. We expect no printout:
28
29 // Let's adopt the memory from v into v2. We expect no printout:
30 ROOT::RVec<UponCopyPrinter> v2(v.data(), v.size());
31
32 // OK, let's check the addresses of the memory associated to the two RVecs It is the same!
33 std::cout << v.data() << " and " << v2.data() << std::endl;
34
35 // Now, upon reallocation, the RVec stops adopting the memory and starts owning it. And yes,
36 // a copy is triggered. Indeed internally the storage of the RVec is an std::vector. Moreover,
37 // the interface of the RVec is very, very similar to the one of std::vector: you have already
38 // noticed it when the `data()` method was invoked, right?
39
40 v2.push_back(UponCopyPrinter());
41
42 // Of course, now the addresses are different.
43 std::cout << v.data() << " and " << v2.data() << std::endl;

A "std::vector"-like collection of values implementing handy operation to analyse them.
