// Smart pointer implementation borrowed from base/ref_counted.h
//
// A smart pointer class for reference counted objects. Use this class instead
// of calling AddRef and Release manually on a reference counted object to
// avoid common memory leaks caused by forgetting to Release an object
// reference. Sample usage:
//
// class MyFoo : public CefBase {
// ...
// };
//
// void some_function() {
// // The MyFoo object that |foo| represents starts with a single
// // reference.
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> foo = new MyFoo();
// foo->Method(param);
// // |foo| is released when this function returns
// }
//
// void some_other_function() {
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> foo = new MyFoo();
// ...
// foo = NULL; // explicitly releases |foo|
// ...
// if (foo)
// foo->Method(param);
// }
//
// The above examples show how CefRefPtr<T> acts like a pointer to T.
// Given two CefRefPtr<T> classes, it is also possible to exchange
// references between the two objects, like so:
//
// {
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> a = new MyFoo();
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> b;
//
// b.swap(a);
// // now, |b| references the MyFoo object, and |a| references NULL.
// }
//
// To make both |a| and |b| in the above example reference the same MyFoo
// object, simply use the assignment operator:
//
// {
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> a = new MyFoo();
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> b;
//
// b = a;
// // now, |a| and |b| each own a reference to the same MyFoo object.
// // the reference count of the underlying MyFoo object will be 2.
// }
//
// Reference counted objects can also be passed as function parameters and
// used as function return values:
//
// void some_func_with_param(CefRefPtr<MyFoo> param) {
// // A reference is added to the MyFoo object that |param| represents
// // during the scope of some_func_with_param() and released when
// // some_func_with_param() goes out of scope.
// }
//
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> some_func_with_retval() {
// // The MyFoo object that |foox| represents starts with a single
// // reference.
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> foox = new MyFoo();
//
// // Creating the return value adds an additional reference.
// return foox;
//
// // When some_func_with_retval() goes out of scope the original |foox|
// // reference is released.
// }
//
// void and_another_function() {
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> foo = new MyFoo();
//
// // pass |foo| as a parameter.
// some_function(foo);
//
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> foo2 = some_func_with_retval();
// // Now, since we kept a reference to the some_func_with_retval() return
// // value, |foo2| is the only class pointing to the MyFoo object created
// in some_func_with_retval(), and it has a reference count of 1.
//
// some_func_with_retval();
// // Now, since we didn't keep a reference to the some_func_with_retval()
// // return value, the MyFoo object created in some_func_with_retval()
// // will automatically be released.
// }
//
// And in standard containers:
//
// {
// // Create a vector that holds MyFoo objects.
// std::vector<CefRefPtr<MyFoo> > MyFooVec;
//
// // The MyFoo object that |foo| represents starts with a single
// // reference.
// CefRefPtr<MyFoo> foo = new MyFoo();
//
// // When the MyFoo object is added to |MyFooVec| the reference count
// // is increased to 2.
// MyFooVec.push_back(foo);
// }
//
