It has a restricted interface compared to RefPtr, with some // additional operations defined. The main use is in DOM bindings. Use it // outside DOM bindings only if you can ensure it never escapes without being // properly initialized, and you don't need to move it. Otherwise, use a // RefPtr instead. // // Compared to a plain RefPtr, in particular // - it is copyable but not movable // - it can be constructed and assigned from T& and is convertible to T& // implicitly // - it cannot be cleared by the user once initialized, though it can be // re-assigned a new (non-null) value // - it is not convertible to bool, but there is an explicit isInitialized // member function // // Beware that there are two cases where an OwningNonNull actually is nullptr // - it was default-constructed and not yet initialized // - it was cleared during CC unlinking. // All attempts to use it in an invalid state will trigger an assertion in debug // builds. // // The original intent of OwningNonNull was to implement a class with the // same auto-conversion and annotation semantics as mozilla::dom::NonNull // (i.e. never null once you have properly initialized it, auto-converts to T&), // but that holds a strong reference to the object involved. This was designed // for use in DOM bindings and in particular for storing what WebIDL represents // as InterfaceName (as opposed to `InterfaceName?`) in various containers // (dictionaries, sequences). DOM bindings never allow a default-constructed // uninitialized OwningNonNull to escape. RefPtr could have been used for this // use case, just like we could have used T* instead of NonNull, but it // seemed desirable to explicitly annotate the non-null nature of the things // involved to eliminate pointless null-checks, which otherwise tend to // proliferate. template class MOZ_IS_SMARTPTR_TO_REFCOUNTED OwningNonNull { public: using element_type = T; OwningNonNull() = default; MOZ_IMPLICIT OwningNonNull(T& aValue) { init(&aValue); } template MOZ_IMPLICIT OwningNonNull(already_AddRefed&& aValue) { init(aValue); } template MOZ_IMPLICIT OwningNonNull(RefPtr&& aValue) { init(std::move(aValue)); } template MOZ_IMPLICIT OwningNonNull(const OwningNonNull& aValue) { init(aValue); } // This is no worse than get() in terms of const handling. operator T&() const { return ref(); } operator T*() const { return get(); } // Conversion to bool is always true, so delete to catch errors explicit operator bool() const = delete; T* operator->() const { return get(); } T& operator*() const { return ref(); } OwningNonNull& operator=(T* aValue) { init(aValue); return *this; } OwningNonNull& operator=(T& aValue) { init(&aValue); return *this; } template OwningNonNull& operator=(already_AddRefed&& aValue) { init(aValue); return *this; } template OwningNonNull& operator=(RefPtr&& aValue) { init(std::move(aValue)); return *this; } template OwningNonNull& operator=(const OwningNonNull& aValue) { init(aValue); return *this; } // Don't allow assigning nullptr, it makes no sense void operator=(decltype(nullptr)) = delete; T& ref() const { MOZ_ASSERT(mInited); MOZ_ASSERT(mPtr, "OwningNonNull was set to null"); return *mPtr; } // Make us work with smart pointer helpers that expect a get().
