// SOME COMMENTS ABOUT USAGE:

// This provides primarily wp<> weak pointer types and RefBase, which work
// together with sp<> from <StrongPointer.h>.

// sp<> (and wp<>) are a type of smart pointer that use a well defined protocol
// to operate. As long as the object they are templated with implements that
// protocol, these smart pointers work. In several places the platform
// instantiates sp<> with non-RefBase objects; the two are not tied to each
// other.

// RefBase is such an implementation and it supports strong pointers, weak
// pointers and some magic features for the binder.

// So, when using RefBase objects, you have the ability to use strong and weak
// pointers through sp<> and wp<>.

// Normally, when the last strong pointer goes away, the object is destroyed,
// i.e. it's destructor is called. HOWEVER, parts of its associated memory is not
// freed until the last weak pointer is released.

// Weak pointers are essentially "safe" pointers. They are always safe to
// access through promote(). They may return nullptr if the object was
// destroyed because it ran out of strong pointers. This makes them good candidates
// for keys in a cache for instance.

// Weak pointers remain valid for comparison purposes even after the underlying
// object has been destroyed. Even if object A is destroyed and its memory reused
// for B, A remaining weak pointer to A will not compare equal to one to B.
// This again makes them attractive for use as keys.

// How is this supposed / intended to be used?

// Our recommendation is to use strong references (sp<>) when there is an
// ownership relation. e.g. when an object "owns" another one, use a strong
// ref. And of course use strong refs as arguments of functions (it's extremely
// rare that a function will take a wp<>).

// Typically a newly allocated object will immediately be used to initialize
// a strong pointer, which may then be used to construct or assign to other
// strong and weak pointers.

// Use weak references when there are no ownership relation. e.g. the keys in a
// cache (you cannot use plain pointers because there is no safe way to acquire
// a strong reference from a vanilla pointer).

// This implies that two objects should never (or very rarely) have sp<> on
// each other, because they can't both own each other.


// Caveats with reference counting

// Obviously, circular strong references are a big problem; this creates leaks
// and it's hard to debug -- except it's in fact really easy because RefBase has
// tons of debugging code for that. It can basically tell you exactly where the
// leak is.

// Another problem has to do with destructors with side effects. You must
// assume that the destructor of reference counted objects can be called AT ANY
// TIME. For instance code as simple as this:

// void setStuff(const sp<Stuff>& stuff) {
//   std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mMutex);
//   mStuff = stuff;
// }

// is very dangerous. This code WILL deadlock one day or another.

// What isn't obvious is that ~Stuff() can be called as a result of the
// assignment. And it gets called with the lock held. First of all, the lock is
// protecting mStuff, not ~Stuff(). Secondly, if ~Stuff() uses its own internal
// mutex, now you have mutex ordering issues.  Even worse, if ~Stuff() is
// virtual, now you're calling into "user" code (potentially), by that, I mean,
// code you didn't even write.

// A correct way to write this code is something like:

// void setStuff(const sp<Stuff>& stuff) {
//   std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(mMutex);
//   sp<Stuff> hold = mStuff;
//   mStuff = stuff;
//   lock.unlock();
// }

// More importantly, reference counted objects should do as little work as
// possible in their destructor, or at least be mindful that their destructor
// could be called from very weird and unintended places.

// Other more specific restrictions for wp<> and sp<>:

// Do not construct a strong pointer to "this" in an object's constructor.
// The onFirstRef() callback would be made on an incompletely constructed
// object.
// Construction of a weak pointer to "this" in an object's constructor is also
// discouraged. But the implementation was recently changed so that, in the
// absence of extendObjectLifetime() calls, weak pointers no longer impact
// object lifetime, and hence this no longer risks premature deallocation,
// and hence usually works correctly.

// Such strong or weak pointers can be safely created in the RefBase onFirstRef()
// callback.

// Use of wp::unsafe_get() for any purpose other than debugging is almost
// always wrong.  Unless you somehow know that there is a longer-lived sp<> to
// the same object, it may well return a pointer to a deallocated object that
// has since been reallocated for a different purpose. (And if you know there
// is a longer-lived sp<>, why not use an sp<> directly?) A wp<> should only be
// dereferenced by using promote().

// Any object inheriting from RefBase should always be destroyed as the result
// of a reference count decrement, not via any other means.  Such objects
// should never be stack allocated, or appear directly as data members in other
// objects. Objects inheriting from RefBase should have their strong reference
// count incremented as soon as possible after construction. Usually this
// will be done via construction of an sp<> to the object, but may instead
// involve other means of calling RefBase::incStrong().
// Explicitly deleting or otherwise destroying a RefBase object with outstanding
// wp<> or sp<> pointers to it will result in an abort or heap corruption.

// It is particularly important not to mix sp<> and direct storage management
// since the sp from raw pointer constructor is implicit. Thus if a RefBase-
// -derived object of type T is managed without ever incrementing its strong
// count, and accidentally passed to f(sp<T>), a strong pointer to the object
// will be temporarily constructed and destroyed, prematurely deallocating the
// object, and resulting in heap corruption. None of this would be easily
// visible in the source.

// Extra Features:

// RefBase::extendObjectLifetime() can be used to prevent destruction of the
// object while there are still weak references. This is really special purpose
// functionality to support Binder.

// Wp::promote(), implemented via the attemptIncStrong() member function, is
// used to try to convert a weak pointer back to a strong pointer.  It's the
// normal way to try to access the fields of an object referenced only through
// a wp<>.  Binder code also sometimes uses attemptIncStrong() directly.

// RefBase provides a number of additional callbacks for certain reference count
// events, as well as some debugging facilities.

// Debugging support can be enabled by turning on DEBUG_REFS in RefBase.cpp.
// Otherwise little checking is provided.

// Thread safety:

// Like std::shared_ptr, sp<> and wp<> allow concurrent accesses to DIFFERENT
// sp<> and wp<> instances that happen to refer to the same underlying object.
// They do NOT support concurrent access (where at least one access is a write)
// to THE SAME sp<> or wp<>.  In effect, their thread-safety properties are
// exactly like those of T*, NOT atomic<T*>.
