// LeakTracker is a helper to verify that all instances of a class
// have been destroyed.
//
// It is particularly useful for classes that are bound to a single thread --
// before destroying that thread, one can check that there are no remaining
// instances of that class.
//
// For example, to enable leak tracking for class net::URLRequest, start by
// adding a member variable of type LeakTracker<net::URLRequest>.
//
//   class URLRequest {
//     ...
//    private:
//     base::LeakTracker<URLRequest> leak_tracker_;
//   };
//
//
// Next, when we believe all instances of net::URLRequest have been deleted:
//
//   LeakTracker<net::URLRequest>::CheckForLeaks();
//
// Should the check fail (because there are live instances of net::URLRequest),
// then the allocation callstack for each leaked instances is dumped to
// the error log.
//
// If ENABLE_LEAK_TRACKER is not defined, then the check has no effect.
