-/**
- * @file lllazy.h
- * @author Nat Goodspeed
- * @date 2009-01-22
- * @brief Lazy instantiation of specified type. Useful in conjunction with
- * Michael Feathers's "Extract and Override Getter" ("Working
- * Effectively with Legacy Code", p. 352).
- *
- * Quoting his synopsis of steps on p.355:
- *
- * 1. Identify the object you need a getter for.
- * 2. Extract all of the logic needed to create the object into a getter.
- * 3. Replace all uses of the object with calls to the getter, and initialize
- * the reference that holds the object to null in all constructors.
- * 4. Add the first-time logic to the getter so that the object is constructed
- * and assigned to the reference whenever the reference is null.
- * 5. Subclass the class and override the getter to provide an alternative
- * object for testing.
- *
- * It's the second half of bullet 3 (3b, as it were) that bothers me. I find
- * it all too easy to imagine adding pointer initializers to all but one
- * constructor... the one not exercised by my tests. That suggested using
- * (e.g.) boost::scoped_ptr<MyObject> so you don't have to worry about
- * destroying it either.
- *
- * However, introducing additional machinery allows us to encapsulate bullet 4
- * as well.

-/**
- * LLLazy<T> is useful when you have an outer class Outer that you're trying
- * to bring under unit test, that contains a data member difficult to
- * instantiate in a test harness. Typically the data member's class Inner has
- * many thorny dependencies. Feathers generally advocates "Extract and
- * Override Factory Method" (p. 350). But in C++, you can't call a derived
- * class override of a virtual method from the derived class constructor,
- * which limits applicability of "Extract and Override Factory Method." For
- * such cases Feathers presents "Extract and Override Getter" (p. 352).
- *
- * So we'll assume that your class Outer contains a member like this:
- * @code
- * Inner mInner;
- * @endcode
- *
- * LLLazy<Inner> can be used to replace this member. You can directly declare:
- * @code
- * LLLazy<Inner> mInner;
- * @endcode
- * and change references to mInner accordingly.
- *
- * (Alternatively, you can add a base class of the form
- * <tt>LLLazyBase<Inner></tt>. This is discussed further in the LLLazyBase<T>
- * documentation.)
- *
- * LLLazy<T> binds a <tt>boost::scoped_ptr<T></tt> and a factory functor
- * returning T*. You can either bind that functor explicitly or let it default
- * to the expression <tt>new T()</tt>.
- *
- * As long as LLLazy<T> remains unreferenced, its T remains uninstantiated.
- * The first time you use get(), <tt>operator*()</tt> or <tt>operator->()</tt>
- * it will instantiate its T and thereafter behave like a pointer to it.
- *
- * Thus, any existing reference to <tt>mInner.member</tt> should be replaced
- * with <tt>mInner->member</tt>. Any simple reference to @c mInner should be
- * replaced by <tt>*mInner</tt>.
- *
- * (If the original declaration was a pointer initialized in Outer's
- * constructor, e.g. <tt>Inner* mInner</tt>, so much the better. In that case
- * you should be able to drop in <tt>LLLazy<Inner></tt> without much change.)
- *
- * The support for "Extract and Override Getter" lies in the fact that you can
- * replace the factory functor -- or provide an explicit T*. Presumably this
- * is most useful from a test subclass -- which suggests that your @c mInner
- * member should be @c protected.
- *
- * Note that <tt>boost::lambda::new_ptr<T>()</tt> makes a dandy factory
- * functor, for either the set() method or LLLazy<T>'s constructor. If your T
- * requires constructor arguments, use an expression more like
- * <tt>boost::lambda::bind(boost::lambda::new_ptr<T>(), arg1, arg2, ...)</tt>.
- *
- * Of course the point of replacing the functor is to substitute a class that,
- * though referenced as Inner*, is not an Inner; presumably this is a testing
- * subclass of Inner (e.g. TestInner). Thus your test subclass TestOuter for
- * the containing class Outer will contain something like this:
- * @code
- * class TestOuter: public Outer
- * {
- * public:
- * TestOuter()
- * {
- * // mInner must be 'protected' rather than 'private'
- * mInner.set(boost::lambda::new_ptr<TestInner>());
- * }
- * ...
- * };
- * @endcode

- * LLLazyBase<T> wraps LLLazy<T>, giving you an alternative way to replace
- * <tt>Inner mInner;</tt>. Instead of coding <tt>LLLazy<Inner> mInner</tt>,
- * you can add LLLazyBase<Inner> to your Outer class's bases, e.g.:
- * @code
- * class Outer: public LLLazyBase<Inner>
- * {
- * ...
- * };
- * @endcode
- *
- * This gives you @c public get() and @c protected set() methods without
- * having to make your LLLazy<Inner> member @c protected. The tradeoff is that
- * you must access the wrapped LLLazy<Inner> using get() and set() rather than
- * with <tt>operator*()</tt> or <tt>operator->()</tt>.
- *
- * This mechanism can be used for more than one member, but only if they're of
- * different types. That is, you can replace:
- * @code
- * DifficultClass mDifficult;
- * AwkwardType mAwkward;
- * @endcode
- * with:
- * @code
- * class Outer: public LLLazyBase<DifficultClass>, public LLLazyBase<AwkwardType>
- * {
- * ...
- * };
- * @endcode
- * but for a situation like this:
- * @code
- * DifficultClass mMainDifficult, mAuxDifficult;
- * @endcode
- * you should directly embed LLLazy<DifficultClass> (q.v.).
- *
- * For multiple LLLazyBase bases, e.g. the <tt>LLLazyBase<DifficultClass>,
- * LLLazyBase<AwkwardType></tt> example above, access the relevant get()/set()
- * as (e.g.) <tt>LLLazyBase<DifficultClass>::get()</tt>. (This is why you
- * can't have multiple LLLazyBase<T> of the same T.) For a bit of syntactic
- * sugar, please see getLazy()/setLazy().

- * class Outer: public LLLazyBase<DifficultClass>, public LLLazyBase<AwkwardType>
- * {
- * ...
- * };
- * @endcode
- *
- * Your methods can reference the @c DifficultClass instance using

- * Alternatively, you can write <tt>getLazy<DifficultClass>(this)</tt>, which

- * Similarly,
- * @code
- * LLLazyBase<DifficultClass>::set(new TestDifficultClass());

- * could instead be written:

- * setLazy<DifficultClass>(this, new TestDifficultClass());
- * @endcode
- *
- * @note
- * I wanted to provide getLazy() and setLazy() without explicitly passing @c
- * this. That would imply making them methods on a base class rather than free
- * functions. But if <tt>LLLazyBase<T></tt> derives normally from (say) @c
- * LLLazyGrandBase providing those methods, then unqualified getLazy() would
- * be ambiguous: you'd have to write <tt>LLLazyBase<T>::getLazy<T>()</tt>,
- * which is even uglier than <tt>LLLazyBase<T>::get()</tt>, and therefore

- * base class of @c LLLazyBase. But in that case,
- * <tt>LLLazyGrandBase::getLazy<T>()</tt> can't access
- * <tt>LLLazyBase<T>::get()</tt>!
- *
- * We want <tt>getLazy<T>()</tt> to access <tt>LLLazyBase<T>::get()</tt> as if
- * in the lexical context of some subclass method. Ironically, free functions
- * let us do that better than methods on a @c virtual base class -- but that
- * implies passing @c this explicitly. So be it.
