Bug 301998 – Function=(const Function&&) is a footgun in waiting

• Status: NEW
• Component: Web Template Framework

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

Today I encountered an issue that is rather problematic.

the code was
```
    ensureOnDispatcherWithConnection([callback = WTFMove(callback)](auto& renderer, auto& connection) {
        assertIsCurrent(queueSingleton());
        renderer.m_hasAvailableVideoFrameCallback = WTFMove(callback);
        connection.send(Messages::RemoteAudioVideoRendererProxyManager::NotifyWhenHasAvailableVideoFrame(renderer.m_identifier, !!renderer.m_hasAvailableVideoFrameCallback), 0);
    });
```

the code crashed with an infinite recursion. At first I was surprised it even compiled as I had forgotten the `mutable` keyword and didn't expect `renderer.m_hasAvailableVideoFrameCallback = WTFMove(callback);` to even compile.

the stack trace was
```

```

The code for the operator=
Function=(const Function&&) starts with doing
```
    Function& operator=(CallableType&& callable)
    {
        m_callableWrapper = makeUnique<Detail::CallableWrapper<CallableType, Out, In...>>(std::forward<CallableType>(callable));
        return *this;
    }
```
and from there CallableWrapper tries to create a new function and so forth.

It may be best to check that neither CallableType nor FunctionType are const.
