As part of review, I’d like feedback on whether I should be adding these new RetainPtr members or not.

I think Anders is probably the one who should review this.

New patch fixes const-correctness of cast inside RetainPtr::autoreleaseCF as well as making it work correctly with nullptr, and uses autoreleaseCF in one place in iOS-specific code that I had missed in WebKitLegacy.

I think these (autoreleaseCF anyway) adds some confusion. Would it be possible to use std::enable_if to just pick the right autorelease based on the type?

I don’t know; I’ll try.

Oops, did not mean to post patch with this in it.

Yes, I did this in the latest patch, which no longer adds autoreleaseCF.

You can use std::enable_if_t here, and if WebKit requires C++17 you should be able to use std::is_convertible_v as well.

Great, thanks for the suggestion. I will switch to those and retest before landing.

Roughly speaking, WebKit does require C++17 now, but there are many exceptions to that general rule. However, since this is ObjC-only code, all that really matters is the level of support we have in clang with the option we specify (which is now C++17) and we don’t need to worry about gcc or MSVC for this code.

I was unable to use std::is_convertible_v at this time because we are not yet passing in C++17 as our dialect for clang.
