Logically, this signifies a destructive transfer of // the state of the argument into the target function. Invoking // Callback::Run() twice on a Callback that was created with a Passed() // argument will CHECK() because the first invocation would have already // transferred ownership to the target function. // // ConstRef() allows binding a constant reference to an argument rather // than a copy. // // IgnoreResult() is used to adapt a function or Callback with a return type to // one with a void return. This is most useful if you have a function with, // say, a pesky ignorable bool return that you want to use with PostTask or // something else that expect a Callback with a void return. // // EXAMPLE OF Unretained(): // // class Foo { // public: // void func() { cout << "Foo:f" << endl; } // }; // // // In some function somewhere. // Foo foo; // Closure 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 Owned(): // // void foo(int* arg) { cout << *arg << endl } // // int* pn = new int(1); // Closure foo_callback = Bind(&foo, Owned(pn)); // // foo_callback.Run(); // Prints "1" // foo_callback.Run(); // Prints "1" // *n = 2; // foo_callback.Run(); // Prints "2" // // foo_callback.Reset(); // |pn| is deleted. Also will happen when // // |foo_callback| goes out of scope. // // Without Owned(), someone would have to know to delete |pn| when the last // reference to the Callback is deleted. // // // EXAMPLE OF ConstRef(): // // void foo(int arg) { cout << arg << endl } // // int n = 1; // Closure no_ref = Bind(&foo, n); // Closure 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 IgnoreResult(): // // int DoSomething(int arg) { cout << arg << endl; } // // // Assign to a Callback with a void return type. // Callback cb = Bind(IgnoreResult(&DoSomething)); // cb->Run(1); // Prints "1". // // // Prints "1" on |ml|. // ml->PostTask(FROM_HERE, Bind(IgnoreResult(&DoSomething), 1); // // // EXAMPLE OF Passed(): // // void TakesOwnership(scoped_ptr arg) { } // scoped_ptr CreateFoo() { return scoped_ptr(new Foo()); } // // scoped_ptr f(new Foo()); // // // |cb| is given ownership of Foo(). |f| is now NULL. // // You can use f.Pass() in place of &f, but it's more verbose. // Closure cb = Bind(&TakesOwnership, Passed(&f)); // // // Run was never called so |cb| still owns Foo() and deletes // // it on Reset(). // cb.Reset(); // // // |cb| is given a new Foo created by CreateFoo(). // cb = Bind(&TakesOwnership, Passed(CreateFoo())); // // // |arg| in TakesOwnership() is given ownership of Foo(). |cb| // // no longer owns Foo() and, if reset, would not delete Foo(). // cb.Run(); // Foo() is now transferred to |arg| and deleted. // cb.Run(); // This CHECK()s since Foo() already been used once. // // Passed() is particularly useful with PostTask() when you are transferring // ownership of an argument into a task, but don't necessarily know if the // task will always be executed. This can happen if the task is cancellable // or if it is posted to a MessageLoopProxy. // // // SIMPLE FUNCTIONS AND UTILITIES. // // DoNothing() - Useful for creating a Closure that does nothing when called. // DeletePointer() - Useful for creating a Closure that will delete a // pointer when invoked. Only use this when necessary. // In most cases MessageLoop::DeleteSoon() is a better // fit. #ifndef BASE_BIND_HELPERS_H_ #define BASE_BIND_HELPERS_H_ #include "base/basictypes.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.
