4 weeks ago Please consider to merge your improvements into the same headers or at least into a new appropriate named header file. propagated parameter.h_improved filename from chatgpt is not suitable. Please also take care of code backwards compatibility, you are free to break it, but please use separate Class/Naming and files for that, so that the old code still works. thank you!
…the original implementation, which enhance its functionality, safety, and usability.
Key Components
1.Template Declaration The class is templated with typename T, allowing it to handle any data type specified during instantiation.
2.Constructors Default Constructor: Initializes data to a default value of type T (e.g., 0 for integers, "" for strings), ensuring proper initialization. Parameterized Constructor: Takes a parameter of type T to initialize data.
3.Copy and Move Semantics Copy Constructor: Creates a new instance by copying the data from another Parameter instance, ensuring deep copying. Move Constructor: Transfers resources from an rvalue (temporary object) to the new object, avoiding unnecessary copies and improving performance. Copy Assignment Operator: Allows an existing instance to be assigned the value of another, using deep copying. Move Assignment Operator: Transfers resources from another instance, ensuring efficiency and resource management.
4.Const Member Function getData(): A method that returns a constant reference to data, allowing read-only access without modifying the object. This provides a safe way to retrieve the stored value.
5.Member Variable T data: Stores the actual value of the specified type T.
