This is useful if you need to PostTask with a function that has // a return value that you don't care about. // // // EXAMPLE OF Unretained(): // // class Foo { // public: // void func() { cout << "Foo:f" << endl; } // }; // // // In some function somewhere. // Foo foo; // Callback foo_callback = // Bind(&Foo::func, Unretained(&foo)); // foo_callback.Run(); // Prints "Foo:f". // // Without the Unretained() wrapper on |&foo|, the above call would fail // to compile because Foo does not support the AddRef() and Release() methods. // // // EXAMPLE OF ConstRef(): // void foo(int arg) { cout << arg << endl } // // int n = 1; // Callback no_ref = Bind(&foo, n); // Callback has_ref = Bind(&foo, ConstRef(n)); // // no_ref.Run(); // Prints "1" // has_ref.Run(); // Prints "1" // // n = 2; // no_ref.Run(); // Prints "1" // has_ref.Run(); // Prints "2" // // Note that because ConstRef() takes a reference on |n|, |n| must outlive all // its bound callbacks. // // // EXAMPLE OF IgnoreReturn(): // int DoSomething(int arg) { cout << arg << endl; } // Callback cb = Bind(&DoSomething, 1); // Closure c = IgnoreReturn(cb); // Prints "1" // or // ml->PostTask(FROM_HERE, IgnoreReturn(cb)); // Prints "1" on |ml| #ifndef BASE_BIND_HELPERS_H_ #define BASE_BIND_HELPERS_H_ #pragma once #include "base/basictypes.h" #include "base/bind.h" #include "base/callback.h" #include "base/memory/weak_ptr.h" #include "base/template_util.h" namespace base { namespace internal { // Use the Substitution Failure Is Not An Error (SFINAE) trick to inspect T // for the existence of AddRef() and Release() functions of the correct // signature. // // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_failure_is_not_an_error // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257288/is-it-possible-to-write-a-c-template-to-check-for-a-functions-existence // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4358584/sfinae-approach-comparison // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1966362/sfinae-to-check-for-inherited-member-functions // // The last link in particular show the method used below. // // For SFINAE to work with inherited methods, we need to pull some extra tricks // with multiple inheritance. In the more standard formulation, the overloads // of Check would be: // // template // Yes NotTheCheckWeWant(Helper<&C::TargetFunc>*); // // template // No NotTheCheckWeWant(...); // // static const bool value = sizeof(NotTheCheckWeWant(0)) == sizeof(Yes); // // The problem here is that template resolution will not match // C::TargetFunc if TargetFunc does not exist directly in C. That is, if // TargetFunc in inherited from an ancestor, &C::TargetFunc will not match, // |value| will be false. This formulation only checks for whether or // not TargetFunc exist directly in the class being introspected. // // To get around this, we play a dirty trick with multiple inheritance. // First, We create a class BaseMixin that declares each function that we // want to probe for. Then we create a class Base that inherits from both T // (the class we wish to probe) and BaseMixin. Note that the function // signature in BaseMixin does not need to match the signature of the function // we are probing for; thus it's easiest to just use void(void). // // Now, if TargetFunc exists somewhere in T, then &Base::TargetFunc has an // ambiguous resolution between BaseMixin and T. This lets us write the // following: // // template // No GoodCheck(Helper<&C::TargetFunc>*); // // template // Yes GoodCheck(...); // // static const bool value = sizeof(GoodCheck(0)) == sizeof(Yes); // // Notice here that the variadic version of GoodCheck() returns Yes here // instead of No like the previous one. Also notice that we calculate |value| // by specializing GoodCheck() on Base instead of T. // // We've reversed the roles of the variadic, and Helper overloads. // GoodCheck(Helper<&C::TargetFunc>*), when C = Base, fails to be a valid // substitution if T::TargetFunc exists. Thus GoodCheck(0) will resolve // to the variadic version if T has TargetFunc. If T::TargetFunc does not // exist, then &C::TargetFunc is not ambiguous, and the overload resolution // will prefer GoodCheck(Helper<&C::TargetFunc>*). // // This method of SFINAE will correctly probe for inherited names, but it cannot // typecheck those names. It's still a good enough sanity check though. // // Works on gcc-4.2, gcc-4.4, and Visual Studio 2008. // // TODO(ajwong): Move to ref_counted.h or template_util.h when we've vetted // this works well. // // TODO(ajwong): Make this check for Release() as well. // See http://crbug.com/82038. template class SupportsAddRefAndRelease { typedef char Yes[1]; typedef char No[2]; struct BaseMixin { void AddRef(); }; // MSVC warns when you try to use Base if T has a private destructor, the // common pattern for refcounted types.
