26 // A wrapper that makes it easy to create an object of type T with static
27 // storage duration that:
28 // - is only constructed on first access
29 // - never invokes the destructor
30 // in order to satisfy the styleguide ban on global constructors and
31 // destructors.
32 //
33 // Runtime constant example:
34 // const std::string& GetLineSeparator() {
35 //  // Forwards to std::string(size_t, char, const Allocator&) constructor.
36 //   static const base::NoDestructor<std::string> s(5, '-');
37 //   return *s;
38 // }
39 //
40 // More complex initialization with a lambda:
41 // const std::string& GetSessionNonce() {
42 //   static const base::NoDestructor<std::string> nonce([] {
43 //     std::string s(16);
44 //     crypto::RandString(s.data(), s.size());
45 //     return s;
46 //   }());
47 //   return *nonce;
48 // }
49 //
50 // NoDestructor<T> stores the object inline, so it also avoids a pointer
51 // indirection and a malloc. Also note that since C++11 static local variable
52 // initialization is thread-safe and so is this pattern. Code should prefer to
53 // use NoDestructor<T> over:
54 // - A function scoped static T* or T& that is dynamically initialized.
55 // - A global base::LazyInstance<T>.
56 //
57 // Note that since the destructor is never run, this *will* leak memory if used
58 // as a stack or member variable. Furthermore, a NoDestructor<T> should never
59 // have global scope as that may require a static initializer.
