+/* Proof-of-Concept for smart pointer interoperability.
+
+High-level aspects:
+
+* Support all `unique_ptr`, `shared_ptr` interops that are feasible.
+
+* Cleanly and clearly report all interops that are infeasible.
+
+* Meant to fit into a `PyObject`, as a holder for C++ objects.
+
+* Support a system design that makes it impossible to trigger
+  C++ Undefined Behavior, especially from Python.
+
+* Support a system design with clean runtime inheritance casting. From this
+  it follows that the `smart_holder` needs to be type-erased (`void*`).
+
+* Handling of RTTI for the type-erased held pointer is NOT implemented here.
+  It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that `static_cast<T *>`
+  is well-formed when calling `as_*` member functions. Inheritance casting
+  needs to be handled in a different layer (similar to the code organization
+  in boost/python/object/inheritance.hpp).
+
+Details:
+
+* The "root holder" chosen here is a `shared_ptr<void>` (named `vptr` in this
+  implementation). This choice is practically inevitable because `shared_ptr`
+  has only very limited support for inspecting and accessing its deleter.
+
+* If created from a raw pointer, or a `unique_ptr` without a custom deleter,
+  `vptr` always uses a custom deleter, to support `unique_ptr`-like disowning.
+  The custom deleters could be extended to included life-time management for
+  external objects (e.g. `PyObject`).
+
+* If created from an external `shared_ptr`, or a `unique_ptr` with a custom
+  deleter, including life-time management for external objects is infeasible.
+
+* By choice, the smart_holder is movable but not copyable, to keep the design
+  simple, and to guard against accidental copying overhead.
+
+* The `void_cast_raw_ptr` option is needed to make the `smart_holder` `vptr`
+  member invisible to the `shared_from_this` mechanism, in case the lifetime
+  of a `PyObject` is tied to the pointee.
+
+* Regarding `PYBIND11_TESTS_PURE_CPP_SMART_HOLDER_POC_TEST_CPP` below:
+  This define serves as a marker for code that is NOT used
+  from smart_holder_type_casters.h, but is exercised only from
+  tests/pure_cpp/smart_holder_poc_test.cpp. The marked code was useful
+  mainly for bootstrapping the smart_holder work. At this stage, with
+  smart_holder_type_casters.h in production use (at Google) since around
+  February 2021, it could be moved from here to tests/pure_cpp/ (help welcome).
+  It will probably be best in most cases to add tests for new functionality
+  under test/test_class_sh_*.

Subject: [PATCH 048/147] Check for Python instance is uninitialized/disowned
 in type_caster_base.h. CRUDE intermediate state, needs refactoring.

All 4 remaining BAKEIN_BREAK removed from test_class_sh_basic.py. With that both test_class_sh_basic.cpp and test_class_sh_basic.py are identical to the smart_holder branch.

All unit tests pass ASAN and MSAN testing with the Google-internal toolchain.

Subject: [PATCH 054/147] Bring in all tests/test_class_*.cpp,py from
 smart_holder branch as-is that pass without any further changes.

All unit tests pass ASAN and MSAN testing with the Google-internal toolchain.

Subject: [PATCH 091/147] SegFault 20.04 C++11 MinSizeRel all tests, but only
 first pass after git clean -fdx NO SegFault 20.04 C++11 Debug all tests, even
 in first pass after git clean -fdx BUT then suddenly SegFaults not
 reproducible anymore even with MinSizeRel!?

Current thread 0x00007f6c7165e740 (most recent call first):
  File "/mounted_pybind11/tests/test_class_sh_shared_ptr_copy_move.py", line 9 in test_shptr_copy

line 9:
    lst = m.test_ShPtr_copy()

This line was added after last observed SegFault
    del mth

Subject: [PATCH 106/147] Bring in `shared_ptr_with_responsible_parent()` from
 smart_holder branch:

smart_holder branch:

```
    static std::shared_ptr<type> shared_ptr_from_python(handle responsible_parent)
```

Renamed in this commit:

```
    static std::shared_ptr<type> shared_ptr_with_responsible_parent(handle responsible_parent)
```

Use in `property_cpp_function<>` specializations.

Fixes all 8 test failures introduced with the previous commit (1bcf5727804caf346bb1e3ac84f0f59281cef58c):

```
FAILED test_class_sh_property_non_owning.py::test_core_fld_common[core_fld_value_ro-expected0-True] - RuntimeError: Non-owning holder (loaded_as_shared_ptr).

Subject: [PATCH 117/147] Introduce
 `detail::both_t_and_d_use_type_caster_base<T, D>` helper and use
 systematically in all `property_cpp_function<>` specializations.

This fixes a PyTorch build error (using the Google-internal toolchain):

Subject: [PATCH 123/147] Fix a minor and inconsequential inconsistency in
 `copyable_holder_caster`: the correct `load_value()` return type is `void`
 (as defined in `type_caster_generic`)

For easy future reference, this is the long-standing inconsistency:

* https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/blob/dbf848aff7c37ef8798bc9459a86193e28b1032f/include/pybind11/detail/type_caster_base.h#L634

Noticed in passing while working on PR #5213.

This ensures IWYU correctness in client code.

The only change in trampoline_self_life_support.h is to replace `#include "detail/type_caster_base.h"` with "#include detail/value_and_holder.h".

 "uses `std::unique_ptr` holder" (which is the original meaning, and
 compatible with the original smart_holder branch).

Subject: [PATCH 138/147] Revert "Add `"_sh_baked_in"` to
 `PYBIND11_INTERNALS_ID`, `PYBIND11_MODULE_LOCAL_ID`"

`"_sh_baked_in"` is no longer needed because the smart_holder functionality is now tied to the `PYBIND11_INTERNALS_VERSION`.

This reverts commit 884305e9538e5a280693c7bbc245a31e81899ca8.
