Base class for OpenFHE objects

All OpenFHE objects (CryptoContext, Ciphertext, Plaintext, Keys, etc.) inherit from this class. It holds an external pointer to a C++ shared_ptr.

Usage

OpenFHEObject(ptr = NULL)

Arguments

ptr

External pointer to C++ object (internal use)

Value

An S7 object of class OpenFHEObject, the base class every object in this package inherits from. It has a single property, ptr, holding an external pointer to the underlying C++ shared_ptr. Constructing one directly is of no use; the class exists so that methods can dispatch on the common parent and so that the pointer is managed in one place.
