// NonDereferenceable<T> wraps a raw pointer value of type T*, but prevents
|
|
// dereferencing.
|
|
//
|
|
// The main use case is for pointers that referencing memory that may not
|
|
// contain a valid object, either because the object has already been freed, or
|
|
// is under active construction or destruction (and hence parts of it may be
|
|
// uninitialized or destructed.)
|
|
// Such a pointer may still be useful, e.g., for its numeric value for
|
|
// logging/debugging purposes, which may be accessed with `value()`.
|
|
// Using NonDereferenceable with such pointers will make this intent clearer,
|
|
// and prevent misuses.
|
|
//
|
|
// Note that NonDereferenceable is only a wrapper and is NOT an owning pointer,
|
|
// i.e., it will not release/free the object.
|
|
//
|
|
// NonDereferenceable allows conversions between compatible pointer types, e.g.,
|
|
// to navigate a class hierarchy and identify parent/sub-objects. Note that the
|
|
// converted pointers stay safely NonDereferenceable.
|
|
//
|
|
// Use of NonDereferenceable is required to avoid errors from sanitization tools
|
|
// like `clang++ -fsanitize=vptr`, and should prevent false positives while
|
|
// pointers are manipulated within NonDereferenceable objects.
