// Usage, invariants, etc:

// It is normally OK just to keep weak pointers to an object.  The object will
// be deallocated by decWeak when the last weak reference disappears.
// Once a a strong reference has been created, the object will disappear once
// the last strong reference does (decStrong).
// AttemptIncStrong will succeed if the object has a strong reference, or if it
// has a weak reference and has never had a strong reference.
// AttemptIncWeak really does succeed only if there is already a WEAK
// reference, and thus may fail when attemptIncStrong would succeed.
// OBJECT_LIFETIME_WEAK changes this behavior to retain the object
// unconditionally until the last reference of either kind disappears.  The
// client ensures that the extendObjectLifetime call happens before the dec
// call that would otherwise have deallocated the object, or before an
// attemptIncStrong call that might rely on it.  We do not worry about
// concurrent changes to the object lifetime.
// mStrong is the strong reference count.  mWeak is the weak reference count.
// Between calls, and ignoring memory ordering effects, mWeak includes strong
// references, and is thus >= mStrong.
//
// A weakref_impl is allocated as the value of mRefs in a RefBase object on
// construction.
// In the OBJECT_LIFETIME_STRONG case, it is deallocated in the RefBase
// destructor iff the strong reference count was never incremented. The
// destructor can be invoked either from decStrong, or from decWeak if there
// was never a strong reference. If the reference count had been incremented,
// it is deallocated directly in decWeak, and hence still lives as long as
// the last weak reference.
// In the OBJECT_LIFETIME_WEAK case, it is always deallocated from the RefBase
// destructor, which is always invoked by decWeak. DecStrong explicitly avoids
// the deletion in this case.
//
// Memory ordering:
// The client must ensure that every inc() call, together with all other
// accesses to the object, happens before the corresponding dec() call.
//
// We try to keep memory ordering constraints on atomics as weak as possible,
// since memory fences or ordered memory accesses are likely to be a major
// performance cost for this code. All accesses to mStrong, mWeak, and mFlags
// explicitly relax memory ordering in some way.
//
// The only operations that are not memory_order_relaxed are reference count
// decrements. All reference count decrements are release operations.  In
// addition, the final decrement leading the deallocation is followed by an
// acquire fence, which we can view informally as also turning it into an
// acquire operation.  (See 29.8p4 [atomics.fences] for details. We could
// alternatively use acq_rel operations for all decrements. This is probably
// slower on most current (2016) hardware, especially on ARMv7, but that may
// not be true indefinitely.)
//
// This convention ensures that the second-to-last decrement synchronizes with
// (in the language of 1.10 in the C++ standard) the final decrement of a
// reference count. Since reference counts are only updated using atomic
// read-modify-write operations, this also extends to any earlier decrements.
// (See "release sequence" in 1.10.)
//
// Since all operations on an object happen before the corresponding reference
// count decrement, and all reference count decrements happen before the final
// one, we are guaranteed that all other object accesses happen before the
// object is destroyed.
