namespace fml {

// A smart pointer class for intrusively reference-counted objects (e.g., those
// subclassing |RefCountedThreadSafe| -- see ref_counted.h).
//
// Such objects require *adoption* to obtain the first |RefPtr|, which is
// accomplished using |AdoptRef| (see below). (This is due to such objects being
// constructed with a reference count of 1. The adoption requirement is
// enforced, at least in Debug builds, by assertions.)
//
// E.g., if |Foo| is an intrusively reference-counted class:
//
//   // The |AdoptRef| may be put in a static factory method (e.g., if |Foo|'s
//   // constructor is private).
//   RefPtr<Foo> my_foo_ptr(AdoptRef(new Foo()));
//
//   // Now OK, since "my Foo" has been adopted ...
//   RefPtr<Foo> another_ptr_to_my_foo(my_foo_ptr.get());
//
//   // ... though this would preferable in this situation.
//   RefPtr<Foo> yet_another_ptr_to_my_foo(my_foo_ptr);
//
// Unlike Chromium's |scoped_refptr|, |RefPtr| is only explicitly constructible
// from a plain pointer (and not assignable). It is however implicitly
// constructible from |nullptr|. So:
//
//   RefPtr<Foo> foo(plain_ptr_to_adopted_foo);    // OK.
//   foo = plain_ptr_to_adopted_foo;               // Not OK (doesn't compile).
//   foo = RefPtr<Foo>(plain_ptr_to_adopted_foo);  // OK.
//   foo = nullptr;                                // OK.
//
// And if we have |void MyFunction(RefPtr<Foo> foo)|, calling it using
// |MyFunction(nullptr)| is also valid.
//
// Implementation note: For copy/move constructors/operator=s, we often have
// templated versions, so that the operation can be done on a |RefPtr<U>|, where
// |U| is a subclass of |T|. However, we also have non-templated versions with
// |U = T|, since the templated versions don't count as copy/move
// constructors/operator=s for the purposes of causing the default copy
// constructor/operator= to be deleted. E.g., if we didn't declare any
// non-templated versions, we'd get the default copy constructor/operator= (we'd
// only not get the default move constructor/operator= by virtue of having a
// destructor)! (In fact, it'd suffice to only declare a non-templated move
// constructor or move operator=, which would cause the copy
// constructor/operator= to be deleted, but for clarity we include explicit
// non-templated versions of everything.)
