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 LAZY_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER initializer. // // 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 = LAZY_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER; // 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_ #include <new> // For placement new. #include "base/atomicops.h" #include "base/base_export.h" #include "base/basictypes.h" #include "base/debug/leak_annotations.h" #include "base/logging.h" #include "base/memory/aligned_memory.h" #include "base/third_party/dynamic_annotations/dynamic_annotations.h" #include "base/threading/thread_restrictions.h" // LazyInstance uses its own struct initializer-list style static // initialization, as base's LINKER_INITIALIZED requires a constructor and on // some compilers (notably gcc 4.4) this still ends up needing runtime // initialization. #define LAZY_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER {0} namespace base { template <typename Type> struct DefaultLazyInstanceTraits { static const bool kRegisterOnExit = true; static const bool kAllowedToAccessOnNonjoinableThread = false; static Type* New(void* instance) { DCHECK_EQ(reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(instance) & (ALIGNOF(Type) - 1), 0u) << ": Bad boy, the buffer passed to placement new is not aligned!\n" "This may break some stuff like SSE-based optimizations assuming the " "<Type> objects are word aligned."; // 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(Type* instance) { // Explicitly call the destructor. instance->~Type(); } }; // We pull out some of the functionality into non-templated functions, so we // can implement the more complicated pieces out of line in the .cc file. namespace internal { // Use LazyInstance<T>::Leaky for a less-verbose call-site typedef; e.g.: // base::LazyInstance<T>::Leaky my_leaky_lazy_instance; // instead of: // base::LazyInstance<T, base::internal::LeakyLazyInstanceTraits<T> > // my_leaky_lazy_instance; // (especially when T is MyLongTypeNameImplClientHolderFactory). // Only use this internal::-qualified verbose form to extend this traits class // (depending on its implementation details). template <typename Type> struct LeakyLazyInstanceTraits { static const bool kRegisterOnExit = false; static const bool kAllowedToAccessOnNonjoinableThread = true; static Type* New(void* instance) { ANNOTATE_SCOPED_MEMORY_LEAK; return DefaultLazyInstanceTraits<Type>::New(instance); } static void Delete(Type* instance) { } }; // Our AtomicWord doubles as a spinlock, where a value of // kBeingCreatedMarker means the spinlock is being held for creation. static const subtle::AtomicWord kLazyInstanceStateCreating = 1; // Check if instance needs to be created.
