Thanks to a bunch of hard work at the WebKit meeting (both as part of the OwnPtr hack-a-thon and "after hours"), we've now enabled strict OwnPtr semantics on PLATFORM(MAC). Other platforms should follow shortly as we work through the platform-specific files.
The strict semantics mean you'll no longer be able to store a raw pointer in an OwnPtr without first calling adoptPtr. Ideally, you should call adoptPtr immediately after calling new: adoptPtr(new AwesomeClass(42)) OwnPtr will ensure that the allocated memory is freed exactly once, avoiding memory leaks and double-frees. There's still some more work to enable strict mode for PassOwnPtr, but hopefully we'll be able to turn that on soon as well. Thanks for all your help everyone, and happy memory management!
