AthenaHitsVector : Try to add policies ala DataVector (OWN/VIEW)
AthenaHitsVector :
- What we currently have is always owning the elements (
OWN). Try to add aVIEWpolicy alaDataVector. - The default is
OWNso nothing should change.
The reason is that in my understanding if we want to use a DataPool for the T/P converters of Hits collection
we can not have the Container deleting the elements (as the DataPool owns them the container must be VIEW)
So at the end the main "goal" is to have kind of this
void Clear() {
// delete pointers if we own the elements
if (m_ownPolicy == OWN_ELEMENTS) {
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < m_hitvector.size(); i++)
delete m_hitvector[i];
}
Similar changes happened in "resize" etc. We want to delete only if we own. And we want to deep copy only if own etc...
Ping @jchapman from simulation , @ssnyder from the expert / DataPool side , and @tadej since he brought the issue of many allocations that we might want to avoid via a DataPool
