Detailed Description

template<class T>
class regina::boost::reference_wrapper< T >

A wrapper allowing references to be passed through generic functions.

This class is for use with the Standard Template Library.

The primary advantage of this class is its implicit conversion to type T&. Thus it can be passed to routines expecting references to T but can also be passed by reference itself.

See global routines ref() and cref() for simple creation of these wrappers.

Python:

Not present.

Author:

This class was taken and modified from the Boost C++ libraries (http://www.boost.org/).
