Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This extends the CTL version of make_shared with functionality not found
in the STL, with inspiration taken from Rust's Rc class.

// Our make_shared supports passing a weak self reference as the first parameter
// to your constructor, e.g.:
//
// struct Tree : ctl::weak_self_base
// {
// ctl::shared_ptr<Tree> l, r;
// ctl::weak_ptr<Tree> parent;
// Tree(weak_ptr<Tree> const& self, auto&& l2, auto&& r2)
// : l(ctl::forward<decltype(l2)>(l2)),
// r(ctl::forward<decltype(r2)>(r2))
// {
// if (l) l->parent = self;
// if (r) r->parent = self;
// }
// };

// int main() {
// auto t = ctl::make_shared<Tree>(
// ctl::make_shared<Tree>(nullptr, nullptr), nullptr);
// return t->l->parent.lock().get() == t.get() ? 0 : 1;
// }
//
// As shown, passing the parameter at object construction time lets you complete
// object construction without needing a separate Init method. But because we go
// off spec as far as the STL is concerned, there is a potential ambiguity where
// you might have a constructor with a weak_ptr first parameter that is intended
// to be something other than a self-reference. So this feature is opt-in by way
// of inheriting from the following struct.
