/**
* UniquePtr is a smart pointer that wholly owns a resource. Ownership may be
* transferred out of a UniquePtr through explicit action, but otherwise the
* resource is destroyed when the UniquePtr is destroyed.
*
* UniquePtr is similar to C++98's std::auto_ptr, but it improves upon auto_ptr
* in one crucial way: it's impossible to copy a UniquePtr. Copying an auto_ptr
* obviously *can't* copy ownership of its singly-owned resource. So what
* happens if you try to copy one? Bizarrely, ownership is implicitly
* *transferred*, preserving single ownership but breaking code that assumes a
* copy of an object is identical to the original. (This is why auto_ptr is
* prohibited in STL containers.)
*
* UniquePtr solves this problem by being *movable* rather than copyable.
* Instead of passing a |UniquePtr u| directly to the constructor or assignment
* operator, you pass |Move(u)|. In doing so you indicate that you're *moving*
* ownership out of |u|, into the target of the construction/assignment. After
* the transfer completes, |u| contains |nullptr| and may be safely destroyed.
* This preserves single ownership but also allows UniquePtr to be moved by
* algorithms that have been made move-safe. (Note: if |u| is instead a
* temporary expression, don't use |Move()|: just pass the expression, because
* it's already move-ready. For more information see Move.h.)
*
* UniquePtr is also better than std::auto_ptr in that the deletion operation is
* customizable. An optional second template parameter specifies a class that
* (through its operator()(T*)) implements the desired deletion policy. If no
* policy is specified, mozilla::DefaultDelete<T> is used -- which will either
* |delete| or |delete[]| the resource, depending whether the resource is an
* array. Custom deletion policies ideally should be empty classes (no member
* fields, no member fields in base classes, no virtual methods/inheritance),
* because then UniquePtr can be just as efficient as a raw pointer.
*
* Use of UniquePtr proceeds like so:
*
* UniquePtr<int> g1; // initializes to nullptr
* g1.reset(new int); // switch resources using reset()
* g1 = nullptr; // clears g1, deletes the int
*
* UniquePtr<int> g2(new int); // owns that int
* int* p = g2.release(); // g2 leaks its int -- still requires deletion
* delete p; // now freed
*
* struct S { int x; S(int x) : x(x) {} };
* UniquePtr<S> g3, g4(new S(5));
* g3 = Move(g4); // g3 owns the S, g4 cleared
* S* p = g3.get(); // g3 still owns |p|
* assert(g3->x == 5); // operator-> works (if .get() != nullptr)
* assert((*g3).x == 5); // also operator* (again, if not cleared)
* Swap(g3, g4); // g4 now owns the S, g3 cleared
* g3.swap(g4); // g3 now owns the S, g4 cleared
* UniquePtr<S> g5(Move(g3)); // g5 owns the S, g3 cleared
* g5.reset(); // deletes the S, g5 cleared
*
* struct FreePolicy { void operator()(void* p) { free(p); } };
* UniquePtr<int, FreePolicy> g6(static_cast<int*>(malloc(sizeof(int))));
* int* ptr = g6.get();
* g6 = nullptr; // calls free(ptr)
*
* Now, carefully note a few things you *can't* do:
*
* UniquePtr<int> b1;
* b1 = new int; // BAD: can only assign another UniquePtr
* int* ptr = b1; // BAD: no auto-conversion to pointer, use get()
*
* UniquePtr<int> b2(b1); // BAD: can't copy a UniquePtr
* UniquePtr<int> b3 = b1; // BAD: can't copy-assign a UniquePtr
*
* (Note that changing a UniquePtr to store a direct |new| expression is
* permitted, but usually you should use MakeUnique, defined at the end of this
* header.)
*
* A few miscellaneous notes:
*
* UniquePtr, when not instantiated for an array type, can be move-constructed
* and move-assigned, not only from itself but from "derived" UniquePtr<U, E>
* instantiations where U converts to T and E converts to D. If you want to use
* this, you're going to have to specify a deletion policy for both UniquePtr
* instantations, and T pretty much has to have a virtual destructor. In other
* words, this doesn't work:
*
* struct Base { virtual ~Base() {} };
* struct Derived : Base {};
*
* UniquePtr<Base> b1;
* // BAD: DefaultDelete<Base> and DefaultDelete<Derived> don't interconvert
* UniquePtr<Derived> d1(Move(b));
*
* UniquePtr<Base> b2;
* UniquePtr<Derived, DefaultDelete<Base>> d2(Move(b2)); // okay
*
* UniquePtr is specialized for array types. Specializing with an array type
* creates a smart-pointer version of that array -- not a pointer to such an
* array.
*
* UniquePtr<int[]> arr(new int[5]);
* arr[0] = 4;
*
* What else is different? Deletion of course uses |delete[]|. An operator[]
* is provided. Functionality that doesn't make sense for arrays is removed.
* The constructors and mutating methods only accept array pointers (not T*, U*
* that converts to T*, or UniquePtr<U[]> or UniquePtr<U>) or |nullptr|.
*
* It's perfectly okay for a function to return a UniquePtr. This transfers
* the UniquePtr's sole ownership of the data, to the fresh UniquePtr created
* in the calling function, that will then solely own that data. Such functions
* can return a local variable UniquePtr, |nullptr|, |UniquePtr(ptr)| where
* |ptr| is a |T*|, or a UniquePtr |Move()|'d from elsewhere.
*
* UniquePtr will commonly be a member of a class, with lifetime equivalent to
* that of that class. If you want to expose the related resource, you could
* expose a raw pointer via |get()|, but ownership of a raw pointer is
* inherently unclear. So it's better to expose a |const UniquePtr&| instead.
* This prohibits mutation but still allows use of |get()| when needed (but
* operator-> is preferred). Of course, you can only use this smart pointer as
* long as the enclosing class instance remains live -- no different than if you
* exposed the |get()| raw pointer.
*
* To pass a UniquePtr-managed resource as a pointer, use a |const UniquePtr&|
* argument. To specify an inout parameter (where the method may or may not
* take ownership of the resource, or reset it), or to specify an out parameter
* (where simply returning a |UniquePtr| isn't possible), use a |UniquePtr&|
* argument. To unconditionally transfer ownership of a UniquePtr
* into a method, use a |UniquePtr| argument. To conditionally transfer
* ownership of a resource into a method, should the method want it, use a
* |UniquePtr&&| argument.

/**
* MakeUnique is a helper function for allocating new'd objects and arrays,
* returning a UniquePtr containing the resulting pointer. The semantics of
* MakeUnique<Type>(...) are as follows.
*
* If Type is an array T[n]:
* Disallowed, deleted, no overload for you!
* If Type is an array T[]:
* MakeUnique<T[]>(size_t) is the only valid overload. The pointer returned
* is as if by |new T[n]()|, which value-initializes each element. (If T
* isn't a class type, this will zero each element. If T is a class type,
* then roughly speaking, each element will be constructed using its default
* constructor. See C++11 [dcl.init]p7 for the full gory details.)
* If Type is non-array T:
* The arguments passed to MakeUnique<T>(...) are forwarded into a
* |new T(...)| call, initializing the T as would happen if executing
* |T(...)|.
*
* There are various benefits to using MakeUnique instead of |new| expressions.
*
* First, MakeUnique eliminates use of |new| from code entirely. If objects are
* only created through UniquePtr, then (assuming all explicit release() calls
* are safe, including transitively, and no type-safety casting funniness)
* correctly maintained ownership of the UniquePtr guarantees no leaks are
* possible. (This pays off best if a class is only ever created through a
* factory method on the class, using a private constructor.)
*
* Second, initializing a UniquePtr using a |new| expression requires repeating
* the name of the new'd type, whereas MakeUnique in concert with the |auto|
* keyword names it only once:
*
* UniquePtr<char> ptr1(new char()); // repetitive
* auto ptr2 = MakeUnique<char>(); // shorter
*
* Of course this assumes the reader understands the operation MakeUnique
* performs. In the long run this is probably a reasonable assumption. In the
* short run you'll have to use your judgment about what readers can be expected
* to know, or to quickly look up.
*
* Third, a call to MakeUnique can be assigned directly to a UniquePtr. In
* contrast you can't assign a pointer into a UniquePtr without using the
* cumbersome reset().
*
* UniquePtr<char> p;
* p = new char; // ERROR
* p.reset(new char); // works, but fugly
* p = MakeUnique<char>(); // preferred
*
* (And third, although not relevant to Mozilla: MakeUnique is exception-safe.
* An exception thrown after |new T| succeeds will leak that memory, unless the
* pointer is assigned to an object that will manage its ownership. UniquePtr
* ably serves this function.)
