This class is // useful for places you would normally use a function-level static, but you // need to have guaranteed thread-safety. The Type constructor will only ever // be called once, even if two threads are racing to create the object. Get() // and Pointer() will always return the same, completely initialized instance. // When the instance is constructed it is registered with AtExitManager. The // destructor will be called on program exit. // // LazyInstance is completely thread safe, assuming that you create it safely. // The class was designed to be POD initialized, so it shouldn't require a // static constructor. It really only makes sense to declare a LazyInstance as // a global variable using the base::LinkerInitialized constructor. // // LazyInstance is similar to Singleton, except it does not have the singleton // property. You can have multiple LazyInstance's of the same type, and each // will manage a unique instance. It also preallocates the space for Type, as // to avoid allocating the Type instance on the heap. This may help with the // performance of creating the instance, and reducing heap fragmentation. This // requires that Type be a complete type so we can determine the size. // // Example usage: // static LazyInstance<MyClass> my_instance(base::LINKER_INITIALIZED); // void SomeMethod() { // my_instance.Get().SomeMethod(); // MyClass::SomeMethod() // // MyClass* ptr = my_instance.Pointer(); // ptr->DoDoDo(); // MyClass::DoDoDo // } #ifndef BASE_LAZY_INSTANCE_H_ #define BASE_LAZY_INSTANCE_H_ #pragma once #include <new> // For placement new. #include "base/atomicops.h" #include "base/base_api.h" #include "base/basictypes.h" #include "base/third_party/dynamic_annotations/dynamic_annotations.h" #include "base/threading/thread_restrictions.h" namespace base { template <typename Type> struct DefaultLazyInstanceTraits { static const bool kAllowedToAccessOnNonjoinableThread = false; static Type* New(void* instance) { // Use placement new to initialize our instance in our preallocated space. // The parenthesis is very important here to force POD type initialization. return new (instance) Type(); } static void Delete(void* instance) { // Explicitly call the destructor. reinterpret_cast<Type*>(instance)->~Type(); } }; template <typename Type> struct LeakyLazyInstanceTraits { static const bool kAllowedToAccessOnNonjoinableThread = true; static Type* New(void* instance) { return DefaultLazyInstanceTraits<Type>::New(instance); } // Rather than define an empty Delete function, we make Delete itself // a null pointer.
