Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename BField>

Acts::SharedBField< BField >::SharedBField ( std::shared_ptr< const BField >  bField )

inline

the constructur with a shared pointer

Note

since it is a shared field, we enforce it to be const

Template Parameters

bField

is the shared BField to be stored
