Detailed Description

template<class T>
class SG::SlotSpecificObj< T >

Maintain a set of objects, one per slot.

The payload T must be default-constructable. One such instance of T will be made for each event slot.

The usual pointer operators may be used to access the object, as well as get(). get() also takes an optional event context argument, to allow specifying the slot explicitly, rather than looking it up in a thread-local global.

This class does not do anything itself to protect the contents of the payload objects against simultaneous access from different threads. Especially if the owner is a service or a reentrant algorithm, multiple threads may be executing simultaneously for the same slot. In such cases, T must be safe against simultaneous access from multiple threads, possibly with an internal lock or using std::atomic.

This is similiar to ContextSpecificPtr from Gaudi, but with some important differences:

• The payload objects are managed and owned by this class.
• Rather than using an unordered_map with locking, we just use a vector, indexed by slot. We thus don't need any locking. The price of this is that we need to know the number of slots when we're constructed.
• We allow requesting a given slot explicitly, via an EventContext argument.
