## Detailed Description

### template<class type>
class KStaticDeleter< type >

Little helper class to clean up static objects that are held as pointer.

When the library is unloaded, or the app terminated, all static deleters are destroyed, which in turn destroys those static objects properly.

A typical use is

     static KStaticDeleter<MyClass> sd;

     MyClass::self() {
       if (!_self) { sd.setObject(_self, new MyClass()); }
     }

## Member Function Documentation

template<class type>
type* KStaticDeleter< type >::setObject | ( | type * | obj,
|  | bool | isArray = false
| ) | `[inline]`

  | Sets the object to delete and registers the object to be deleted to KGlobal. If the given object is 0, the former registration is unregistered. Parameters:
  isArray | tells the destructor to delete an array instead of an object This class or method is obsolete, it is provided for compatibility only. See the other setObject variant.

template<class type>
type* KStaticDeleter< type >::setObject | ( | type *& | globalRef,
|  | type * | obj,
|  | bool | isArray = false
| ) | `[inline]`

  | Sets the object to delete and registers the object to be deleted to KGlobal. If the given object is 0, the former registration is unregistered. Parameters:
  globalRef | the static pointer where this object is stored This pointer will be reset to 0 after deletion of the object.
  isArray | tells the destructor to delete an array instead of an object

template<class type>
virtual void KStaticDeleter< type >::destructObject | ( |  | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

| Destructs the object. This has the same effect as deleting the KStaticDeleter. Reimplemented from KStaticDeleterBase. Definition at line 109 of file kstaticdeleter.h.
