// 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); // } //// /// template
