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 foo = new MyFoo(); // foo->Method(param); // // |foo| is released when this function returns // } // // void some_other_function() { // CefRefPtr foo = new MyFoo(); // ... // foo = NULL; // explicitly releases |foo| // ... // if (foo) // foo->Method(param); // } // // The above examples show how CefRefPtr acts like a pointer to T. // Given two CefRefPtr classes, it is also possible to exchange // references between the two objects, like so: // // { // CefRefPtr a = new MyFoo(); // CefRefPtr 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 a = new MyFoo(); // CefRefPtr 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 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 some_func_with_retval() { // // The MyFoo object that |foox| represents starts with a single // // reference. // CefRefPtr 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 foo = new MyFoo(); // // // pass |foo| as a parameter. // some_function(foo); // // CefRefPtr 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 > MyFooVec; // // // The MyFoo object that |foo| represents starts with a single // // reference. // CefRefPtr foo = new MyFoo(); // // // When the MyFoo object is added to |MyFooVec| the reference count // // is increased to 2. // MyFooVec.push_back(foo); // } // template class CefRefPtr { public: CefRefPtr() : ptr_(NULL) { } CefRefPtr(T* p) : ptr_(p) { if (ptr_) ptr_->AddRef(); } CefRefPtr(const CefRefPtr& r) : ptr_(r.ptr_) { if (ptr_) ptr_->AddRef(); } ~CefRefPtr() { if (ptr_) ptr_->Release(); } T* get() const { return ptr_; } operator T*() const { return ptr_; } T* operator->() const { return ptr_; } CefRefPtr& operator=(T* p) { // AddRef first so that self assignment should work if (p) p->AddRef(); if (ptr_ ) ptr_ ->Release(); ptr_ = p; return *this; } CefRefPtr& operator=(const CefRefPtr& r) { return *this = r.ptr_; } void swap(T** pp) { T* p = ptr_; ptr_ = *pp; *pp = p; } void swap(CefRefPtr& r) { swap(&r.ptr_); } private: T* ptr_; }; #endif // _CEF_PTR_H
