C10_API void deleteNothing(void*);

// A detail::UniqueVoidPtr is an owning smart pointer like unique_ptr, but
// with three major differences:
//
//    1) It is specialized to void
//
//    2) It is specialized for a function pointer deleter
//       void(void* ctx); i.e., the deleter doesn't take a
//       reference to the data, just to a context pointer
//       (erased as void*).  In fact, internally, this pointer
//       is implemented as having an owning reference to
//       context, and a non-owning reference to data; this is why
//       you release_context(), not release() (the conventional
//       API for release() wouldn't give you enough information
//       to properly dispose of the object later.)
//
//    3) The deleter is guaranteed to be called when the unique
//       pointer is destructed and the context is non-null; this is different
//       from std::unique_ptr where the deleter is not called if the
//       data pointer is null.
//
// Some of the methods have slightly different types than std::unique_ptr
// to reflect this.

// Note [How UniqueVoidPtr is implemented]
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// UniqueVoidPtr solves a common problem for allocators of tensor data, which
// is that the data pointer (e.g., float*) which you are interested in, is not
// the same as the context pointer (e.g., DLManagedTensor) which you need
// to actually deallocate the data.  Under a conventional deleter design, you
// have to store extra context in the deleter itself so that you can actually
// delete the right thing.  Implementing this with standard C++ is somewhat
// error-prone: if you use a std::unique_ptr to manage tensors, the deleter will
// not be called if the data pointer is nullptr, which can cause a leak if the
// context pointer is non-null (and the deleter is responsible for freeing both
// the data pointer and the context pointer).
//
// So, in our reimplementation of unique_ptr, which just store the context
// directly in the unique pointer, and attach the deleter to the context
// pointer itself.  In simple cases, the context pointer is just the pointer
// itself.
