This PR suggests to allow the internal data buffer of
ConcreteBufferto be owned outside the shared-pointer-controlled object. Before the change, creation ofConcreteBuffermandates dynamic memory allocation.A custom
std::unique_ptrDeleteris added to support memory management of the internal buffer ofConcreteBuffer. The customerDeleteruses a polymorphic "remover" to control the lifecycle of the internal buffer. By default, the remover is null, and theDeleterbehaves the same asstd::default_delete<T>.The
removermakes it possible to bind the lifecycle of the internal data buffer outside. For example,struct ConcreteBufferNdarrayRemoveris derived fromConcreteBuffer::remover_typeand bind the lifecycle of the buffer to aPyArrayObject(i.e.,pybind11::array).
