Previously, if layout_data was not nil, we failed to CFRelease source. However, if layout_data was nil, we dif free source, then immediately set it to a new CoreFoundation object, which we then failed to free.

We now use fml::CFRef which just does the right thing.

Finally, we were returning (__brdige_transfer)CFRetain(layout_data) but __bridge_transfer releases the transferred object at the end of the enclosing expression, so this is equivalent to (__bridge)layout_data, which is what we now do.

No tests since this is a refactor with no semantic changes, other than fixing an internal leak.

Pre-launch Checklist

  • I read the Contributor Guide and followed the process outlined there for submitting PRs.
  • I read the Tree Hygiene wiki page, which explains my responsibilities.
  • I read and followed the Flutter Style Guide and the C++, Objective-C, Java style guides.
  • I didn't list at least one issue that this PR fixes in the description above.
  • I added new tests to check the change I am making or feature I am adding, or the PR is test-exempt. See testing the engine for instructions on writing and running engine tests.
  • I updated/added relevant documentation (doc comments with ///).
  • I signed the CLA.
  • All existing and new tests are passing.

If you need help, consider asking for advice on the #hackers-new channel on Discord.

Previously, if `layout_data` was not nil, we failed to `CFRelease`
`source`. However, if `layout_data` was nil, we dif free source, then
immediately set it to a new CoreFoundation object, which we then failed
to free.

We now use `fml::CFRef` which just does the right thing.

Finally, we were returning `(__brdige_transfer)CFRetain(layout_data)`
but `__bridge_transfer` releases the transferred object at the end of
the enclosing expression, so this is equivalent to
`(__bridge)layout_data`, which is what we now do.

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests before merging. If you need an exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!).

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group.

LGTM

(It's unfortunate that flm::CFRef—a class that exists solely to help manage memory—has absolutely no documentation about what the memory semantics of any of its methods is, and the only way to know what takes an owning ref is to read the implementation.)

test-exempt: code refactor with no semantic change

(Ideally we would test the leak, but this would be a good change even if it weren't leaking before since it's inherently safer.)

Documentation

Yes! Good news though. This patch actually came from a separate patch that documents the class and migrates existing manual code to it. I broke out the bug fixes into their own patches though.
