Syntax

template<typename TAnnotation, bool bAutoRemove>  
class FUObjectAnnotationSparse : public FUObjectArray::FUObjectDeleteListener

Remarks

FUObjectAnnotationSparse is a helper class that is used to store sparse, slow, temporary, editor only, external or other low priority information about UObjects.

There is a notion of a default annotation and UObjects default to this annotation and this takes no storage.

Annotations are automatically cleaned up when UObjects are destroyed. Annotation are not "garbage collection aware", so it isn't safe to store pointers to other UObjects in an annotation unless external guarantees are made such that destruction of the other object removes the annotation.

Constructors

	Type	Name	Description
		FUObjectAnnotationSparse ()	Constructor, initializes to nothing

Destructors

	Type	Name	Description
		~FUObjectAnnotationSparse ()	Destructor, removes all annotations, which removes the annotation as a uobject destruction listener

Functions

Type	Name	Description
void	AddAnnotation ( const UObjectBase* Object, TAnnotation&& Annotation )	Add an annotation to the annotation list.
void	AddAnnotation ( const UObjectBase* Object, const TAnnotation& Annotation )
TAnnotation	GetAndRemoveAnnotation ( const UObjectBase* Object )	Removes an annotation from the annotation list and returns the annotation if it had one
TAnnotation	GetAnnotation ( const UObjectBase* Object )	Return the annotation associated with a uobject
const TMap< const UObjectBase *, TAnnotation > &	GetAnnotationMap ()	Return the annotation map. Caution, this is for low level use
void	NotifyUObjectDeleted ( const UObjectBase* Object, int32 Index )	Interface for FUObjectAllocator::FUObjectDeleteListener
void	RemoveAllAnnotations ()	Removes all annotation from the annotation list.
void	RemoveAnnotation ( const UObjectBase* Object )	Removes an annotation from the annotation list.
void	Reserve ( int32 ExpectedNumElements )	Reserves memory for the annotation map for the specified number of elements, used to avoid reallocations.
