/*
|
|
* The logic here is a little subtle. [expr.new] states that if the allocation
|
|
* function being called returns null, then object initialization must not be
|
|
* done, and the entirety of the new expression must return null. Non-throwing
|
|
* (noexcept) functions are defined to return null to indicate failure. The
|
|
* standard placement operator new is defined in such a way, and so it requires
|
|
* a null check, even when that null check would be extraneous. Functions
|
|
* declared without such a specification are defined to throw std::bad_alloc if
|
|
* they fail, and return a non-null pointer otherwise. We compile without
|
|
* exceptions, so any placement new overload we define that doesn't declare
|
|
* itself as noexcept must therefore avoid generating a null check. Below is
|
|
* just such an overload.
|
|
*
|
|
* You might think that MOZ_NONNULL might perform the same function, but
|
|
* MOZ_NONNULL isn't supported on all of our compilers, and even when it is
|
|
* supported, doesn't work on all the versions we support. And even keeping
|
|
* those limitations in mind, we can't put MOZ_NONNULL on the global,
|
|
* standardized placement new function in any event.
|
|
*
|
|
* We deliberately don't add MOZ_NONNULL(3) to tag |p| as non-null, to benefit
|
|
* hypothetical static analyzers. Doing so makes |MOZ_ASSERT(p)|'s internal
|
|
* test vacuous, and some compilers warn about such vacuous tests.
