10 /// This file defines the RefCountedBase, ThreadSafeRefCountedBase, and
11 /// IntrusiveRefCntPtr classes.
12 ///
13 /// IntrusiveRefCntPtr is a smart pointer to an object which maintains a
14 /// reference count.  (ThreadSafe)RefCountedBase is a mixin class that adds a
15 /// refcount member variable and methods for updating the refcount.  An object
16 /// that inherits from (ThreadSafe)RefCountedBase deletes itself when its
17 /// refcount hits zero.
18 ///
19 /// For example:
20 ///
21 /// ```
22 ///   class MyClass : public RefCountedBase<MyClass> {};
23 ///
24 ///   void foo() {
25 ///     // Constructing an IntrusiveRefCntPtr increases the pointee's refcount
26 ///     // by 1 (from 0 in this case).
27 ///     IntrusiveRefCntPtr<MyClass> Ptr1(new MyClass());
28 ///
29 ///     // Copying an IntrusiveRefCntPtr increases the pointee's refcount by 1.
30 ///     IntrusiveRefCntPtr<MyClass> Ptr2(Ptr1);
31 ///
32 ///     // Constructing an IntrusiveRefCntPtr has no effect on the object's
33 ///     // refcount.  After a move, the moved-from pointer is null.
34 ///     IntrusiveRefCntPtr<MyClass> Ptr3(std::move(Ptr1));
35 ///     assert(Ptr1 == nullptr);
36 ///
37 ///     // Clearing an IntrusiveRefCntPtr decreases the pointee's refcount by 1.
38 ///     Ptr2.reset();
39 ///
40 ///     // The object deletes itself when we return from the function, because
41 ///     // Ptr3's destructor decrements its refcount to 0.
42 ///   }
43 /// ```
44 ///
45 /// You can use IntrusiveRefCntPtr with isa<T>(), dyn_cast<T>(), etc.:
46 ///
47 /// ```
48 ///   IntrusiveRefCntPtr<MyClass> Ptr(new MyClass());
49 ///   OtherClass *Other = dyn_cast<OtherClass>(Ptr);  // Ptr.get() not required
50 /// ```
51 ///
52 /// IntrusiveRefCntPtr works with any class that
53 ///
54 ///  - inherits from (ThreadSafe)RefCountedBase,
55 ///  - has Retain() and Release() methods, or
56 ///  - specializes IntrusiveRefCntPtrInfo.

140 /// Usually specializing this class is not necessary, as IntrusiveRefCntPtr
141 /// works with any type which defines Retain() and Release() functions -- you
142 /// can define those functions yourself if RefCountedBase doesn't work for you.

144 /// One case when you might want to specialize this type is if you have

149 /// the declaration of Foo.  Without the declaration of Foo, normally Bar.h
150 /// wouldn't be able to use IntrusiveRefCntPtr<Foo>, which wants to call
151 /// T::Retain and T::Release.
152 ///
153 /// To resolve this, Bar.h could include a third header, FooFwd.h, which
154 /// forward-declares Foo and specializes IntrusiveRefCntPtrInfo<Foo>.  Then
155 /// Bar.h could use IntrusiveRefCntPtr<Foo>, although it still couldn't call any
