18 * DebugOnly contains a value of type T, but only in debug builds. In release
19 * builds, it does not contain a value. This helper is intended to be used with
20 * MOZ_ASSERT()-style macros, allowing one to write:
21 *
22 * DebugOnly<bool> check = func();
23 * MOZ_ASSERT(check);
24 *
25 * more concisely than declaring |check| conditional on #ifdef DEBUG, but also
26 * without allocating storage space for |check| in release builds.
27 *
28 * DebugOnly instances can only be coerced to T in debug builds. In release
29 * builds they don't have a value, so type coercion is not well defined.
30 *
31 * Note that DebugOnly instances still take up one byte of space, plus padding,
32 * when used as members of structs.
