/**
|
|
* \brief Lazy initialization template class
|
|
*
|
|
* The lazy-initialized value of type T can be obtained from a `Lazy<T>` instance by using the `operator*()`. Initialization of the value happens when the `operator*()` is called for the very first time, by invoking the `initializer` lambda-function that was passed to the constructor. The return value of the `initializer` lambda-function is then stored internally, so that any subsequent call to the `operator*()` *immediately* returns the previously created value.
|
|
*
|
|
* **Note on thread-saftey:** This class is thread-safe in the sense that all calls to `operator*()` on the same `Lazy<T>` instance, regardless from which thread, are guaranteed to return the exactly same value/object. Still, if the value has *not* been initialized yet **and** if multiple threads happen to call `operator*()` at the same time, then the `initializer` lambda-function *may* be invoked more than once (concurrently and by different threads). In that case, all but one return value of the `initializer` lambda-function are discarded, and all threads eventually obtain the same value/object.
