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.

141/// Class you can specialize to provide custom retain/release functionality for
142/// a type.
143///
144/// Usually specializing this class is not necessary, as IntrusiveRefCntPtr
145/// works with any type which defines Retain() and Release() functions -- you
146/// can define those functions yourself if RefCountedBase doesn't work for you.
147///
148/// One case when you might want to specialize this type is if you have
149/// - Foo.h defines type Foo and includes Bar.h, and
150/// - Bar.h uses IntrusiveRefCntPtr<Foo> in inline functions.
151///
152/// Because Foo.h includes Bar.h, Bar.h can't include Foo.h in order to pull in
153/// the declaration of Foo. Without the declaration of Foo, normally Bar.h
154/// wouldn't be able to use IntrusiveRefCntPtr<Foo>, which wants to call
155/// T::Retain and T::Release.
156///
157/// To resolve this, Bar.h could include a third header, FooFwd.h, which
158/// forward-declares Foo and specializes IntrusiveRefCntPtrInfo<Foo>. Then
159/// Bar.h could use IntrusiveRefCntPtr<Foo>, although it still couldn't call any
160/// functions on Foo itself, because Foo would be an incomplete type.
