Hello Forum,
Is there a method to test if a maxon::BaseArray has been allocated.

maxon::BaseArray<Int32> map;
if (!map) return false; // does not compile

Or is it safe to assume that the BaseArray is always allocated?

Thanks for your help,

Joe

You don't have to check this as the object is just created in the current scope, but no memory is allocated yet for the array.

You've to check either
- the return value of Append(), Insert() to see if the operation which triggered a memory allocation was successful
- or the return value of Resize() which triggers memory allocations/releases too

Best regards,

Wilfried,

You have answered my question. I now see in the docs that BaseArray.Append() returns a pointer and BaseArray.Resize() returns Bool.

Thank you,

Joe
