/* Weak pointer functionality, implemented as a mixin for use with any class. */
/**
* SupportsWeakPtr lets you have a pointer to an object 'Foo' without affecting
* its lifetime. It works by creating a single shared reference counted object
* (WeakReference) that each WeakPtr will access 'Foo' through. This lets 'Foo'
* clear the pointer in the WeakReference without having to know about all of
* the WeakPtrs to it and allows the WeakReference to live beyond the lifetime
* of 'Foo'.
*
* PLEASE NOTE: This weak pointer implementation is not thread-safe.
*
* Note that when deriving from SupportsWeakPtr you should add
* MOZ_DECLARE_WEAKREFERENCE_TYPENAME(ClassName) to the public section of your
* class, where ClassName is the name of your class.
*
* The overhead of WeakPtr is that accesses to 'Foo' becomes an additional
* dereference, and an additional heap allocated pointer sized object shared
* between all of the WeakPtrs.
*
* Example of usage:
*
* // To have a class C support weak pointers, inherit from
* // SupportsWeakPtr<C>.
* class C : public SupportsWeakPtr<C>
* {
* public:
* MOZ_DECLARE_WEAKREFERENCE_TYPENAME(C)
* int mNum;
* void act();
* };
*
* C* ptr = new C();
*
* // Get weak pointers to ptr. The first time a weak pointer
* // is obtained, a reference counted WeakReference object is created that
* // can live beyond the lifetime of 'ptr'. The WeakReference
* // object will be notified of 'ptr's destruction.
* WeakPtr<C> weak = ptr;
* WeakPtr<C> other = ptr;
*
* // Test a weak pointer for validity before using it.
* if (weak) {
* weak->mNum = 17;
* weak->act();
* }
*
* // Destroying the underlying object clears weak pointers to it.
* delete ptr;
*
* MOZ_ASSERT(!weak, "Deleting |ptr| clears weak pointers to it.");
* MOZ_ASSERT(!other, "Deleting |ptr| clears all weak pointers to it.");
*
* WeakPtr is typesafe and may be used with any class. It is not required that
* the class be reference-counted or allocated in any particular way.
*
* The API was loosely inspired by Chromium's weak_ptr.h:
* http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/base/memory/weak_ptr.h

// Weak referencing is not implemeted as thread safe. When a WeakPtr
// is created or dereferenced on thread A but the real object is just
// being Released() on thread B, there is a possibility of a race
// when the proxy object (detail::WeakReference) is notified about
// the real object destruction just between when thread A is storing
// the object pointer locally and is about to add a reference to it.
//
// Hence, a non-null weak proxy object is considered to have a single
// "owning thread". It means that each query for a weak reference,
// its dereference, and destruction of the real object must all happen
// on a single thread. The following macros implement assertions for
// checking these conditions.
//
// We re-use XPCOM's nsAutoOwningThread checks when they are available. This has
// the advantage that it works with cooperative thread pools.
