Code indexing in gitaly is broken and leads to code not being visible to the user. We work on the issue with highest priority.

Replace all plain pointers with smart pointers

We should replace all plain pointers with smart pointers, either from std or from boost.

Some random notes

  • Each class T for which a shared pointer std::shared_ptr<T> is used should feature a typedef std::shared_ptr<T> SP. This reduces the amount of code we have to write.
  • Cyclic references have to be avoided using weak pointers.

ToDos

  • ElementBase * -> std::shared_ptr<ElementBase>
  • return type of Object::clone
  • (almost) all occurrences of the keyword new
  • replace (occurrences of) Pointer class
  • replace pointers in Classic/Fields with smart pointers (#744 (closed))
  • replace plain pointers in Classic/AbsBeamline with smart pointers (#746)
