Detailed Description

Persistent_ptr transactional allocation functions for objects.

The typical usage examples would be:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <libpmemobj++/make_persistent.hpp>
#include <libpmemobj++/p.hpp>
#include <libpmemobj++/persistent_ptr.hpp>
#include <libpmemobj++/pool.hpp>
#include <libpmemobj++/transaction.hpp>

using namespace pmem::obj;

void
make_persistent_example()
{

    struct compound_type {

        compound_type(int val, double dval)
            : some_variable(val), some_other_variable(dval)
        {
        }

        void
        set_some_variable(int val)
        {
            some_variable = val;
        }

        p<int> some_variable;
        p<double> some_other_variable;
    };

    // pool root structure
    struct root {
        persistent_ptr<compound_type> comp; //
    };

    // create a pmemobj pool
    auto pop = pool<root>::create("poolfile", "layout", PMEMOBJ_MIN_POOL);
    auto proot = pop.root();

    // typical usage schemes
    transaction::run(pop, [&] {
        // allocation with constructor argument passing
        proot->comp = make_persistent<compound_type>(1, 2.0);

        // transactionally delete the object, ~compound_type() is called
        delete_persistent<compound_type>(proot->comp);
    });

    // throws an transaction_scope_error exception
    auto arr1 = make_persistent<compound_type>(2, 15.0);
    delete_persistent<compound_type>(arr1);
}
