17 // A wrapper that makes it easy to create an object of type T with static
18 // storage duration that:
19 // - is only constructed on first access
20 // - never invokes the destructor
21 // in order to satisfy the styleguide ban on global constructors and
22 // destructors.
23 //
24 // Runtime constant example:
25 // const std::string& GetLineSeparator() {
26 //  // Forwards to std::string(size_t, char, const Allocator&) constructor.
27 //   static const base::NoDestructor<std::string> s(5, '-');
28 //   return *s;
29 // }
30 //
31 // More complex initialization with a lambda:
32 // const std::string& GetSessionNonce() {
33 //   static const base::NoDestructor<std::string> nonce([] {
34 //     std::string s(16);
35 //     crypto::RandString(s.data(), s.size());
36 //     return s;
37 //   }());
38 //   return *nonce;
39 // }
40 //
41 // NoDestructor<T> stores the object inline, so it also avoids a pointer
42 // indirection and a malloc. Also note that since C++11 static local variable
43 // initialization is thread-safe and so is this pattern. Code should prefer to
44 // use NoDestructor<T> over:
45 // - A function scoped static T* or T& that is dynamically initialized.
46 // - A global base::LazyInstance<T>.
47 //
48 // Note that since the destructor is never run, this *will* leak memory if used
49 // as a stack or member variable. Furthermore, a NoDestructor<T> should never
50 // have global scope as that may require a static initializer.
