// Function Template: WrapUnique()
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//  Adopts ownership from a raw pointer and transfers it to the returned
//  `std::unique_ptr`, whose type is deduced.
//
// Example:
//   X* NewX(int, int);
//   auto x = WrapUnique(NewX(1, 2));  // 'x' is std::unique_ptr<X>.
//
// `absl::WrapUnique` is useful for capturing the output of a raw pointer
// factory. However, prefer 'absl::make_unique<T>(args...) over
// 'absl::WrapUnique(new T(args...))'.
//
//   auto x = WrapUnique(new X(1, 2));  // works, but nonideal.
//   auto x = make_unique<X>(1, 2);     // safer, standard, avoids raw 'new'.
//
// Note that `absl::WrapUnique(p)` is valid only if `delete p` is a valid
// expression. In particular, `absl::WrapUnique()` cannot wrap pointers to
// arrays, functions or void, and it must not be used to capture pointers
// obtained from array-new expressions (even though that would compile!).

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Function Template: make_unique<T>()
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Creates a `std::unique_ptr<>`, while avoiding issues creating temporaries
// during the construction process. `absl::make_unique<>` also avoids redundant
// type declarations, by avoiding the need to explicitly use the `new` operator.
//
// This implementation of `absl::make_unique<>` is designed for C++11 code and
// will be replaced in C++14 by the equivalent `std::make_unique<>` abstraction.
// `absl::make_unique<>` is designed to be 100% compatible with
// `std::make_unique<>` so that the eventual migration will involve a simple
// rename operation.
//
// For more background on why `std::unique_ptr<T>(new T(a,b))` is problematic,
// see Herb Sutter's explanation on
// (Exception-Safe Function Calls)[http://herbsutter.com/gotw/_102/].
// (In general, reviewers should treat `new T(a,b)` with scrutiny.)
//
// Example usage:
//
//    auto p = make_unique<X>(args...);  // 'p'  is a std::unique_ptr<X>
//    auto pa = make_unique<X[]>(5);     // 'pa' is a std::unique_ptr<X[]>
//
// Three overloads of `absl::make_unique` are required:
//
//   - For non-array T:
//
//       Allocates a T with `new T(std::forward<Args> args...)`,
//       forwarding all `args` to T's constructor.
//       Returns a `std::unique_ptr<T>` owning that object.
//
//   - For an array of unknown bounds T[]:
//
//       `absl::make_unique<>` will allocate an array T of type U[] with
//       `new U[n]()` and return a `std::unique_ptr<U[]>` owning that array.
//
//       Note that 'U[n]()' is different from 'U[n]', and elements will be
//       value-initialized. Note as well that `std::unique_ptr` will perform its
//       own destruction of the array elements upon leaving scope, even though
//       the array [] does not have a default destructor.
//
//       NOTE: an array of unknown bounds T[] may still be (and often will be)
//       initialized to have a size, and will still use this overload. E.g:
//
//         auto my_array = absl::make_unique<int[]>(10);
//
//   - For an array of known bounds T[N]:
//
//       `absl::make_unique<>` is deleted (like with `std::make_unique<>`) as
//       this overload is not useful.
//
//       NOTE: an array of known bounds T[N] is not considered a useful
//       construction, and may cause undefined behavior in templates. E.g:
//
//         auto my_array = absl::make_unique<int[10]>();
//
//       In those cases, of course, you can still use the overload above and
//       simply initialize it to its desired size:
//
//         auto my_array = absl::make_unique<int[]>(10);

// `absl::make_unique` overload for non-array types.
template <typename T, typename... Args>
typename memory_internal::MakeUniqueResult<T>::scalar make_unique(
    Args&&... args) {
  return std::unique_ptr<T>(new T(std::forward<Args>(args)...));
}

// `absl::make_unique` overload for an array T[] of unknown bounds.
// The array allocation needs to use the `new T[size]` form and cannot take
// element constructor arguments. The `std::unique_ptr` will manage destructing
// these array elements.
template <typename T>
typename memory_internal::MakeUniqueResult<T>::array make_unique(size_t n) {
  return std::unique_ptr<T>(new typename absl::remove_extent_t<T>[n]());
}

// `absl::make_unique` overload for an array T[N] of known bounds.
// This construction will be rejected.
template <typename T, typename... Args>
typename memory_internal::MakeUniqueResult<T>::invalid make_unique(
    Args&&... /* args */) = delete;

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Function Template: RawPtr()
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Extracts the raw pointer from a pointer-like value `ptr`. `absl::RawPtr` is
// useful within templates that need to handle a complement of raw pointers,
// `std::nullptr_t`, and smart pointers.
template <typename T>
auto RawPtr(T&& ptr) -> decltype(&*ptr) {
  // ptr is a forwarding reference to support Ts with non-const operators.
  return (ptr != nullptr) ? &*ptr : nullptr;
}
inline std::nullptr_t RawPtr(std::nullptr_t) { return nullptr; }

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Function Template: ShareUniquePtr()
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Adopts a `std::unique_ptr` rvalue and returns a `std::shared_ptr` of deduced
// type. Ownership (if any) of the held value is transferred to the returned
// shared pointer.
//
// Example:
//
//     auto up = absl::make_unique<int>(10);
//     auto sp = absl::ShareUniquePtr(std::move(up));  // shared_ptr<int>
//     CHECK_EQ(*sp, 10);
//     CHECK(up == nullptr);
//
// Note that this conversion is correct even when T is an array type, and more
// generally it works for *any* deleter of the `unique_ptr` (single-object
// deleter, array deleter, or any custom deleter), since the deleter is adopted
// by the shared pointer as well. The deleter is copied (unless it is a
// reference).
//
// Implements the resolution of [LWG 2415](http://wg21.link/lwg2415), by which a
// null shared pointer does not attempt to call the deleter.
template <typename T, typename D>
std::shared_ptr<T> ShareUniquePtr(std::unique_ptr<T, D>&& ptr) {
  return ptr ? std::shared_ptr<T>(std::move(ptr)) : std::shared_ptr<T>();
}

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Function Template: WeakenPtr()
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Creates a weak pointer associated with a given shared pointer. The returned
// value is a `std::weak_ptr` of deduced type.
//
// Example:
//
//    auto sp = std::make_shared<int>(10);
//    auto wp = absl::WeakenPtr(sp);
//    CHECK_EQ(sp.get(), wp.lock().get());
//    sp.reset();
//    CHECK(wp.lock() == nullptr);
