For our consideration here, that + // means that if we have a non-trivial move constructor or destructor, + // already_AddRefed must be returned by invisible reference. But + // already_AddRefed is small enough and so commonly used that it would be + // beneficial to return it via registers instead. So we need to figure out + // a way to make the move constructor and the destructor trivial. + // + // Our destructor is normally non-trivial, because it asserts that the + // stored pointer has been taken by somebody else prior to destruction. + // However, since the assert in question is compiled only for DEBUG builds, + // we can make the destructor trivial in non-DEBUG builds by simply defining + // it with `= default`. + // + // We now have to make the move constructor trivial as well. It is normally + // non-trivial, because the incoming object has its pointer null-ed during + // the move. This null-ing is done to satisfy the assert in the destructor. + // But since that destructor has no assert in non-DEBUG builds, the clearing + // is unnecessary in such builds; all we really need to perform is a copy of + // the pointer from the incoming object. So we can let the compiler define + // a trivial move constructor for us, and already_AddRefed can now be + // returned in registers rather than needing to allocate a stack slot for + // an invisible reference. + // + // The above considerations apply to Unix-like operating systems only; the + // conditions for the same optimization to apply on x86-64 Windows are much + // more strigent and are basically impossible for already_AddRefed to + // satisfy[2].
