1 and 3 sound very closely related. Yet I'm not sure if they are good. PassRefPtr is useful even if the function doesn't take any kind of ownership. It's useful when callers want to get rid of ownership, and then they can do that efficiently. As Maciej mentioned, eventually we may be able to get rid of PassRefPtr, and use C++0x move semantics. But applicability of move semantics also depends on how a function is called, not on what it is going to do with its arguments. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
