New Revision: 100463

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=100463&view=rev
Log:
Introduce MaybeOwningPtr, a smart pointer that may (or may not) have
ownership over the pointer it contains. Useful when we want to
communicate ownership while still having several clients holding on to
the same pointer *without* introducing reference counting.

+/// \brief A smart pointer that may own the object it points to.
+///
+/// An instance of \c MaybeOwningPtr may own the object it points to. If so,
+/// it will guarantee that the object will be deleted either on destructin of
+/// the OwningPtr or via an explicit reset(). Once created, ownership of the
+/// pointee object can be taken away from OwningPtr by using the \c take()
+/// method.
