I'm unable to return a unique_ptr from a class member fuction, while implementing the Builder Design Pattern. As part of the builder design pattern, I want to create an object using the builder and transfer the ownership of the smart pointer to the client code. However, as I understand from the compilation error, I see that there is some problem in returing a unique_ptr from a class member function.
// Progarm to demonstrate builder design pattern.
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
class person
{
std::string name_ {};
uint8_t age_ = 0;
std::string uniqueId_ {};
person(std::string name):name_(name) {
}
public:
// Person Builder
class personBuilder;
// Public member function to print his info.
void displayPersonInfo()
{
std::cerr << "\nName:" << name_
<< "\nAge:" << std::to_string(age_)
<< "\nUniqueId:" << uniqueId_
<< "\n";
}
// Destructor
virtual ~person()
{
std::cerr << "\nDestroy Person Object\n";
}
};
class person::personBuilder
{
std::unique_ptr<person> pThePerson;
public:
personBuilder(std::string name)
{
pThePerson = std::make_unique<person>(name);
}
personBuilder & age(const uint8_t age)
{
pThePerson->age_ = age;
return *this;
}
personBuilder & uniqueId(const std::string uniqueId)
{
pThePerson->uniqueId_ = uniqueId;
return *this;
}
std::unique_ptr<person> build()
{
return pThePerson;
}
};
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
std::unique_ptr<person> myPerson = person::personBuilder("Sachin Tendulkar")
.age(40).uniqueId("AABBCC").build();
myPerson->displayPersonInfo();
return 0;
}
The following is the compilation error that I'm getting.
