Wouldn't disallowing this implicit conversion break code which does void UseFoo(nsIFoo* foo); nsCOMPtr<nsIFoo> foo; UseFoo(foo); ? That is an extremely common idiom in our code. Like I say, maybe there's a way to allow lvalue nsRefPtr<T> to convert to T*, but disallow the conversion for rvalue nsRefPtr<T>. That would be reasonable, I think. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
