[RF] Don't allow passing temporaries to RooArgList/Set constructors #8065

guitargeek · 2021-04-30T16:26:15Z

The two classes inheriting from RooAbsCollection, namely RooArgList and
RooArgSet are by default non-owning collections. This means they should
not be initialized with temporary objects, otherwise they contain
invalid pointers right after construction.

To avoid that this can ever happen, the universal reference mechanism is
used to statically check for temporaries, such that your code doesn't
even compile if you try to construct a RooArgList or RooArgSet from
temporaries.

This fixes #8052.

Some C++ code to validate that the static_assert works:

#include "RooRealVar.h"
#include "RooArgList.h"
#include "RooArgSet.h"
#include "RooUniform.h"

void test() {

    RooRealVar x("x", "x", 0, 0, 10);
    RooRealVar y("y", "y", 0, 0, 10);

    RooUniform u1("u1", "u1", x);
    RooUniform u2("u2", "u2", y);

    // this should work
    RooArgSet (u1, u2);
    RooArgList(u1, u2);

    // all of these combinations should cause compiler errors
    ///RooArgSet (RooUniform("u1", "u1", x), u2                       );
    //RooArgSet (u1,                        RooUniform("u2", "u2", y));
    //RooArgSet (RooUniform("u1", "u1", x), RooUniform("u2", "u2", y));
    //RooArgList(RooUniform("u1", "u1", x), u2                       );
    //RooArgList(u1,                        RooUniform("u2", "u2", y));
    //RooArgList(RooUniform("u1", "u1", x), RooUniform("u2", "u2", y));

}

roofit/roofitcore/inc/RooArgList.h

+  /// RooAbsArg as r-value reference is not allowed.
+  template<typename... Arg_t>
+  RooArgList(RooAbsArg && arg, Arg_t &&... argsOrName)
+    : RooArgList{arg, std::move(arg), std::forward<Arg_t>(argsOrName)...} {}


Really std::move(arg), not forward?

I would stay std::move, because here the RooAbsArg && arg is not a universal reference but an r-value reference.

I I think the more general std::forward is intended to forward universal references correctly, but here I explicitly create a new r-value reference from arg, which is what move does. Of course they both work, if you want I can change :)

(rebasing and solving conflicts in this PR at the moment)

Oh, so you want temporaries all the way in the arguments? That might work indeed.

Very nice addition to avoid the problem of temporaries.
I think the PR is good to be merged.
