A common example of this is the proxy callback * pattern, where non-main-thread code holds a strong-reference to the callback * object, and dispatches new Runnables (also with a strong reference) to the * main thread in order to execute the callback. This involves several AddRef * and Release calls on the other thread, which is (now) verboten. * * The basic idea of this class is to introduce a layer of indirection. * nsMainThreadPtrHolder is a threadsafe reference-counted class that internally * maintains one strong reference to the main-thread-only object. It must be * instantiated on the main thread (so that the AddRef of the underlying object * happens on the main thread), but consumers may subsequently pass references * to the holder anywhere they please. These references are meant to be opaque * when accessed off-main-thread (assertions enforce this). * * The semantics of RefPtr > would be cumbersome, so * we also introduce nsMainThreadPtrHandle, which is conceptually identical * to the above (though it includes various convenience methods). The basic * pattern is as follows. * * // On the main thread: * nsCOMPtr callback = ...; * nsMainThreadPtrHandle callbackHandle = * new nsMainThreadPtrHolder(callback); * // Pass callbackHandle to structs/classes that might be accessed on other * // threads. * * All structs and classes that might be accessed on other threads should store * an nsMainThreadPtrHandle rather than an nsCOMPtr. */ template class nsMainThreadPtrHolder final { public: // We can only acquire a pointer on the main thread.
