Ownership may be + * transferred out of a UniquePtr through explicit action, but otherwise the + * resource is destroyed when the UniquePtr is destroyed. + * + * UniquePtr is similar to C++98's std::auto_ptr, but it improves upon auto_ptr + * in one crucial way: it's impossible to copy a UniquePtr. Copying an auto_ptr + * obviously *can't* copy ownership of its singly-owned resource. So what + * happens if you try to copy one? Bizarrely, ownership is implicitly + * *transferred*, preserving single ownership but breaking code that assumes a + * copy of an object is identical to the original. (This is why auto_ptr is + * prohibited in STL containers.) + * + * UniquePtr solves this problem by being *movable* rather than copyable. + * Instead of passing a |UniquePtr u| directly to the constructor or assignment + * operator, you pass |Move(u)|. In doing so you indicate that you're *moving* + * ownership out of |u|, into the target of the construction/assignment. After + * the transfer completes, |u| contains |nullptr| and may be safely destroyed. + * This preserves single ownership but also allows UniquePtr to be moved by + * algorithms that have been made move-safe. (Note: if |u| is instead a + * temporary expression, don't use |Move()|: just pass the expression, because + * it's already move-ready. For more information see Move.h.) + * + * UniquePtr is also better than std::auto_ptr in that the deletion operation is + * customizable. An optional second template parameter specifies a class that + * (through its operator()(T*)) implements the desired deletion policy. If no + * policy is specified, mozilla::DefaultDelete<T> is used -- which will either + * |delete| or |delete[]| the resource, depending whether the resource is an + * array. Custom deletion policies ideally should be empty classes (no member + * fields, no member fields in base classes, no virtual methods/inheritance), + * because then UniquePtr can be just as efficient as a raw pointer. + * + * Use of UniquePtr proceeds like so: + * + * UniquePtr<int> g1; // initializes to nullptr + * g1.reset(new int); // switch resources using reset() + * g1 = nullptr; // clears g1, deletes the int + * + * UniquePtr<int> g2(new int); // owns that int + * int* p = g2.release(); // g2 leaks its int -- still requires deletion + * delete p; // now freed + * + * struct S { int x; S(int x) : x(x) {} }; + * UniquePtr<S> g3, g4(new S(5)); + * g3 = std::move(g4); // g3 owns the S, g4 cleared + * S* p = g3.get(); // g3 still owns |p| + * assert(g3->x == 5); // operator-> works (if .get() != nullptr) + * assert((*g3).x == 5); // also operator* (again, if not cleared) + * std::swap(g3, g4); // g4 now owns the S, g3 cleared + * g3.swap(g4); // g3 now owns the S, g4 cleared + * UniquePtr<S> g5(std::move(g3)); // g5 owns the S, g3 cleared + * g5.reset(); // deletes the S, g5 cleared + * + * struct FreePolicy { void operator()(void* p) { free(p); } }; + * UniquePtr<int, FreePolicy> g6(static_cast<int*>(malloc(sizeof(int)))); + * int* ptr = g6.get(); + * g6 = nullptr; // calls free(ptr) + * + * Now, carefully note a few things you *can't* do: + * + * UniquePtr<int> b1; + * b1 = new int; // BAD: can only assign another UniquePtr + * int* ptr = b1; // BAD: no auto-conversion to pointer, use get() + * + * UniquePtr<int> b2(b1); // BAD: can't copy a UniquePtr + * UniquePtr<int> b3 = b1; // BAD: can't copy-assign a UniquePtr + * + * (Note that changing a UniquePtr to store a direct |new| expression is + * permitted, but usually you should use MakeUnique, defined at the end of this + * header.) + * + * A few miscellaneous notes: + * + * UniquePtr, when not instantiated for an array type, can be move-constructed + * and move-assigned, not only from itself but from "derived" UniquePtr<U, E> + * instantiations where U converts to T and E converts to D. If you want to use + * this, you're going to have to specify a deletion policy for both UniquePtr + * instantations, and T pretty much has to have a virtual destructor. In other + * words, this doesn't work: + * + * struct Base { virtual ~Base() {} }; + * struct Derived : Base {}; + * + * UniquePtr<Base> b1; + * // BAD: DefaultDelete<Base> and DefaultDelete<Derived> don't interconvert + * UniquePtr<Derived> d1(std::move(b)); + * + * UniquePtr<Base> b2; + * UniquePtr<Derived, DefaultDelete<Base>> d2(std::move(b2)); // okay + * + * UniquePtr is specialized for array types. Specializing with an array type + * creates a smart-pointer version of that array -- not a pointer to such an + * array. + * + * UniquePtr<int[]> arr(new int[5]); + * arr[0] = 4; + * + * What else is different? Deletion of course uses |delete[]|. An operator[] + * is provided. Functionality that doesn't make sense for arrays is removed. + * The constructors and mutating methods only accept array pointers (not T*, U* + * that converts to T*, or UniquePtr<U[]> or UniquePtr<U>) or |nullptr|. + * + * It's perfectly okay for a function to return a UniquePtr. This transfers + * the UniquePtr's sole ownership of the data, to the fresh UniquePtr created + * in the calling function, that will then solely own that data. Such functions + * can return a local variable UniquePtr, |nullptr|, |UniquePtr(ptr)| where + * |ptr| is a |T*|, or a UniquePtr |Move()|'d from elsewhere. + * + * UniquePtr will commonly be a member of a class, with lifetime equivalent to + * that of that class. If you want to expose the related resource, you could + * expose a raw pointer via |get()|, but ownership of a raw pointer is + * inherently unclear. So it's better to expose a |const UniquePtr&| instead. + * This prohibits mutation but still allows use of |get()| when needed (but + * operator-> is preferred). Of course, you can only use this smart pointer as + * long as the enclosing class instance remains live -- no different than if you + * exposed the |get()| raw pointer. + * + * To pass a UniquePtr-managed resource as a pointer, use a |const UniquePtr&| + * argument. To specify an inout parameter (where the method may or may not + * take ownership of the resource, or reset it), or to specify an out parameter + * (where simply returning a |UniquePtr| isn't possible), use a |UniquePtr&| + * argument. To unconditionally transfer ownership of a UniquePtr + * into a method, use a |UniquePtr| argument. To conditionally transfer + * ownership of a resource into a method, should the method want it, use a + * |UniquePtr&&| argument. + */ +template <typename T, class D> +class UniquePtr { + public: + typedef T ElementType; + typedef D DeleterType; + typedef typename detail::PointerType<T, DeleterType>::Type Pointer; + + private: + mozilla::CompactPair<Pointer, DeleterType> mTuple; + + Pointer& ptr() { return mTuple.first(); } + const Pointer& ptr() const { return mTuple.first(); } + + DeleterType& del() { return mTuple.second(); } + const DeleterType& del() const { return mTuple.second(); } + + public: + /** + * Construct a UniquePtr containing |nullptr|. + */ + constexpr UniquePtr() : mTuple(static_cast<Pointer>(nullptr), DeleterType()) { + static_assert(!std::is_pointer_v<D>, "must provide a deleter instance"); + static_assert(!std::is_reference_v<D>, "must provide a deleter instance"); + } + + /** + * Construct a UniquePtr containing |aPtr|. + */ + explicit UniquePtr(Pointer aPtr) : mTuple(aPtr, DeleterType()) { + static_assert(!std::is_pointer_v<D>, "must provide a deleter instance"); + static_assert(!std::is_reference_v<D>, "must provide a deleter instance"); + } + + UniquePtr(Pointer aPtr, + std::conditional_t<std::is_reference_v<D>, D, const D&> aD1) + : mTuple(aPtr, aD1) {} + + UniquePtr(Pointer aPtr, std::remove_reference_t<D>&& aD2) + : mTuple(aPtr, std::move(aD2)) { + static_assert(!std::is_reference_v<D>, + "rvalue deleter can't be stored by reference"); + } + + UniquePtr(UniquePtr&& aOther) + : mTuple(aOther.release(), + std::forward<DeleterType>(aOther.get_deleter())) {} + + MOZ_IMPLICIT constexpr UniquePtr(decltype(nullptr)) : UniquePtr() {} + + template <typename U, class E> + MOZ_IMPLICIT UniquePtr( + UniquePtr<U, E>&& aOther, + std::enable_if_t< + std::is_convertible_v<typename UniquePtr<U, E>::Pointer, Pointer> && + !std::is_array_v<U> && + (std::is_reference_v<D> ? std::is_same_v<D, E> + : std::is_convertible_v<E, D>), + int> + aDummy = 0) + : mTuple(aOther.release(), std::forward<E>(aOther.get_deleter())) {} + + ~UniquePtr() { reset(nullptr); } + + UniquePtr& operator=(UniquePtr&& aOther) { + reset(aOther.release()); + get_deleter() = std::forward<DeleterType>(aOther.get_deleter()); + return *this; + } + + template <typename U, typename E> + UniquePtr& operator=(UniquePtr<U, E>&& aOther) { + static_assert( + std::is_convertible_v<typename UniquePtr<U, E>::Pointer, Pointer>, + "incompatible UniquePtr pointees"); + static_assert(!std::is_array_v<U>, + "can't assign from UniquePtr holding an array"); + + reset(aOther.release()); + get_deleter() = std::forward<E>(aOther.get_deleter()); + return *this; + } + + UniquePtr& operator=(decltype(nullptr)) { + reset(nullptr); + return *this; + } + + std::add_lvalue_reference_t<T> operator*() const { + MOZ_ASSERT(get(), "dereferencing a UniquePtr containing nullptr with *"); + return *get(); + } + Pointer operator->() const { + MOZ_ASSERT(get(), "dereferencing a UniquePtr containing nullptr with ->"); + return get(); + } + + explicit operator bool() const { return get() != nullptr; } + + Pointer get() const { return ptr(); } + + DeleterType& get_deleter() { return del(); } + const DeleterType& get_deleter() const { return del(); } + + [[nodiscard]] Pointer release() { + Pointer p = ptr(); + ptr() = nullptr; + return p; + } + + void reset(Pointer aPtr = Pointer()) { + Pointer old = ptr(); + ptr() = aPtr; + if (old != nullptr) { + get_deleter()(old); + } + } + + void swap(UniquePtr& aOther) { mTuple.swap(aOther.mTuple); } + + UniquePtr(const UniquePtr& aOther) = delete; // construct using std::move()! + void operator=(const UniquePtr& aOther) = + delete; // assign using std::move()! +}; + +// In case you didn't read the comment by the main definition (you should!): the +// UniquePtr<T[]> specialization exists to manage array pointers.
