// You may access members of a reference-counted object, including the AddRef()
|
||
|
|
// and Release() methods, only if you already own a reference to it, or if
|
||
|
|
// you're borrowing someone else's reference. (A newly created object is a
|
||
|
|
// special case: the reference count is zero on construction, and the code that
|
||
|
|
// creates the object should immediately call AddRef(), bringing the reference
|
||
|
|
// count from zero to one, e.g., by constructing an rtc::scoped_refptr).
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// AddRef() creates a new reference to the object.
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// Release() releases a reference to the object; the caller now has one less
|
||
|
|
// reference than before the call. Returns kDroppedLastRef if the number of
|
||
|
|
// references dropped to zero because of this (in which case the object destroys
|
||
|
|
// itself). Otherwise, returns kOtherRefsRemained, to signal that at the precise
|
||
|
|
// time the caller's reference was dropped, other references still remained (but
|
||
|
|
// if other threads own references, this may of course have changed by the time
|
||
|
|
// Release() returns).
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// The caller of Release() must treat it in the same way as a delete operation:
|
||
|
|
// Regardless of the return value from Release(), the caller mustn't access the
|
||
|
|
// object. The object might still be alive, due to references held by other
|
||
|
|
// users of the object, but the object can go away at any time, e.g., as the
|
||
|
|
// result of another thread calling Release().
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// Calling AddRef() and Release() manually is discouraged. It's recommended to
|
||
|
|
// use rtc::scoped_refptr to manage all pointers to reference counted objects.
|
||
|

// Note that rtc::scoped_refptr depends on compile-time duck-typing; formally
