Member Data Documentation
| const unsigned long ThePEG::Pointer::ReferenceCounted::uniqueId |
The unique ID.
Can be used as sorting criterion, e.g. for set<> and map<>.
Definition at line 104 of file ReferenceCounted.h.
unsigned long ThePEG::Pointer::ReferenceCounted::objectCounter [static, private] |
A counter for issuing unique IDs.
It will overflow back to 0 eventually, but it is very unlikely that two identical IDs show up in the same event.
