/*
* This header exports one public method in the mozilla namespace:
*
* template<class SmartPtr>
* void ClearOnShutdown(SmartPtr *aPtr)
*
* This function takes a pointer to a smart pointer (i.e., nsCOMPtr<T>*,
* nsRefPtr<T>*, or nsAutoPtr<T>*) and nulls the smart pointer on shutdown.
*
* This is useful if you have a global smart pointer object which you don't
* want to "leak" on shutdown.
*
* There is no way to undo a call to ClearOnShutdown, so you can call it only
* on smart pointers which you know will live until the program shuts down.
*
* ClearOnShutdown is currently main-thread only because we don't want to
* accidentally free an object from a different thread than the one it was
* created on.
