Please do not use mozilla::RefCounted/AtomicRefCounted in new code that lives in Gecko. Instead continue to use the NS_INLINE_DECL_REFCOUNTING/NS_INLINE_DECL_THREADSAFE_REFCOUNTING macros. The MFBT versions have a number of drawbacks including incomplete reference count logging, lack of various safety assertions, and the requirement to make the destructor of refcounted objects public (or add some ugly friend declarations) that the XPCOM macros do not have, and for this reason I have decided to remove them from Gecko.
I have removed most of the existing uses in Bug 991812. Various things block removing the remaining ones. I plan to eventually move these classes to mozilla::external::RefCounted/AtomicRefCounted so it is clear that they should not be used in Gecko. - Kyle _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
