Every pointer to a // particular object is kept on a circular linked list. When the last pointer // to an object is destroyed or reassigned, the object is deleted. // // Used properly, this deletes the object when the last reference goes away. // There are several caveats: // - Like all reference counting schemes, cycles lead to leaks. // - Each smart pointer is actually two pointers (8 bytes instead of 4). // - Every time a pointer is assigned, the entire list of pointers to that // object is traversed. This class is therefore NOT SUITABLE when there // will often be more than two or three pointers to a particular object. // - References are only tracked as long as linked_ptr<> objects are copied. // If a linked_ptr<> is converted to a raw pointer and back, BAD THINGS // will happen (double deletion). // // A good use of this class is storing object references in STL containers. // You can safely put linked_ptr<> in a vector<>. // Other uses may not be as good. // // Note: If you use an incomplete type with linked_ptr<>, the class // *containing* linked_ptr<> must have a constructor and destructor (even // if they do nothing!). #ifndef PROCESSOR_LINKED_PTR_H__ #define PROCESSOR_LINKED_PTR_H__ namespace google_breakpad { // This is used internally by all instances of linked_ptr<>.
