It works by creating a single shared reference counted object * (WeakReference) that each WeakPtr will access 'Foo' through. This lets 'Foo' * clear the pointer in the WeakReference without having to know about all of * the WeakPtrs to it and allows the WeakReference to live beyond the lifetime * of 'Foo'. * * PLEASE NOTE: This weak pointer implementation is not thread-safe. * * The overhead of WeakPtr is that accesses to 'Foo' becomes an additional * dereference, and an additional heap allocated pointer sized object shared * between all of the WeakPtrs. * * Example of usage: * * // To have a class C support weak pointers, inherit from * // SupportsWeakPtr * class C : public SupportsWeakPtr * { * public: * int mNum; * void act(); * }; * * C* ptr = new C(); * * // Get weak pointers to ptr. The first time a weak pointer * // is obtained, a reference counted WeakReference object is created that * // can live beyond the lifetime of 'ptr'. The WeakReference * // object will be notified of 'ptr's destruction. * WeakPtr weak = ptr; * WeakPtr other = ptr; * * // Test a weak pointer for validity before using it. * if (weak) { * weak->mNum = 17; * weak->act(); * } * * // Destroying the underlying object clears weak pointers to it. * delete ptr; * * MOZ_ASSERT(!weak, "Deleting |ptr| clears weak pointers to it."); * MOZ_ASSERT(!other, "Deleting |ptr| clears all weak pointers to it."); * * WeakPtr is typesafe and may be used with any class. It is not required that * the class be reference-counted or allocated in any particular way. * * The API was loosely inspired by Chromium's weak_ptr.h: * http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/base/memory/weak_ptr.h * * Note that multiple base classes inheriting from SupportsWeakPtr is not * currently supported. We could support it if needed though. * * For Gecko-internal usage there is also MainThreadWeakPtr, a version of * WeakPtr that can be destroyed on any thread, but whose release gets proxied * to the main thread. This is a similar API to nsMainThreadPtrHandle, but * without keeping a strong reference to the main-thread object. Said WeakPtr * can't be accessed from any other thread that isn't the main thread. */ #ifndef mozilla_WeakPtr_h #define mozilla_WeakPtr_h #include "mozilla/ArrayUtils.h" #include "mozilla/Assertions.h" #include "mozilla/Attributes.h" #include "mozilla/Maybe.h" #include "mozilla/RefCounted.h" #include "mozilla/RefPtr.h" #include #include #if defined(MOZILLA_INTERNAL_API) // For thread safety checking. # include "nsISupportsImpl.h" // For main thread destructor behavior. # include "nsProxyRelease.h" #endif #if defined(MOZILLA_INTERNAL_API) && \ defined(MOZ_THREAD_SAFETY_OWNERSHIP_CHECKS_SUPPORTED) // Weak referencing is not implemented as thread safe.
