can't you be called with 0 elements? (here and elsewhere)

+// Conversion of the PP_Resources to the C++ wrapper object occurs in the

+// object for a call.

explicit (here and other 1-arg constructors)

[dmichael (off chromium), 2012/03/09 18:23:27]

Considering you are using virtual methods here, I think you want virtual
destructors as well?

+    ConvertPPResourceArrayToObjects(PASS_REF, intermediate_output_, output_);
+  }
+
+ protected:
+  // Two-step init for the "with storage" version below.
+  ResourceArrayOutputAdapter() : output_(NULL) {}
+  void set_output(T* output) { output_ = output; }
+
+  // ArrayOutputAdapterBase implementation.
+  virtual void* GetDataBuffer(uint32_t element_count,
+                              uint32_t element_size) {
+    PP_DCHECK(element_count > 0);
+    PP_DCHECK(element_size == sizeof(PP_Resource));
+    if (element_size != sizeof(PP_Resource))
+      return NULL;
+    intermediate_output_.resize(element_count);
+    return &intermediate_output_[0];
+  }
+
+ private:
+  std::vector<PP_Resource> intermediate_output_;
+  std::vector<T>* output_;
+};
+
+// This adapter is like the ArrayOutputAdapter except that it also contains
+// the underlying std::vector that will be populated (rather than writing it to
+// an object passed into the constructor).
+//
+// This is used by the CompletionCallbackFactory system to collect the output
+// parameters from an async function call. The collected data is then passed to
+// the plugins callback function.
+//
+// You can also use it directly if you want to have an array output and aren't
+// using the CompletionCallbackFactory. For example, if you're calling a
+// PPAPI function DoFoo that takes a PP_OutputArray that is supposed to be
+// writing integers, do this:
+//
+//    ArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage<int> adapter;
+//    ppb_foo->DoFoo(adapter.pp_output_array());
+//    std::vector<int> result = adapter.output().

[dmichael (off chromium), 2012/03/09 18:23:27]

Looks like an unfinished line?

I still think something like:
std::vector<int> result;
result.swap(adapter.output());
would be nicer to put in the example, to keep people from needlessly copying.

+template<typename T>
+class ArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage : public ArrayOutputAdapter<T> {
+ public:
+  ArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage() {
+    set_output(&output_storage_);
+  }
+  ArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage(const ArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage<T>& other) {

[dmichael (off chromium), 2012/03/09 18:23:27]

Do you really need a copy constructor (and assignment)? If so, shouldn't it copy
other.output_storage_? If the code here is really what you intend, it's
deserving of a comment.

I would have guessed we'd want to disallow copy & assign in all these.

+    set_output(&output_storage_);
+  }
+
+  ArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage<T>& operator=(
+      const ArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage<T>& other) {
+    set_output(&output_storage_);
+  }
+
+  std::vector<T>& output() { return output_storage_; }
+
+ private:
+  std::vector<T> output_storage_;
+};
+
+// This adapter is like the ArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage except this
+// additionally converts PP_Var structs to pp::Var objects.
+//
+// You can also use it directly if you want to have an array output and aren't
+// using the CompletionCallbackFactory. For example, if you're calling a
+// PPAPI function GetVars that takes a PP_OutputArray that is supposed to be
+// writing PP_Vars, do this:
+//
+//    VarArrayOutputAdapterWithStorage adapter;
+//    ppb_foo->GetVars(adapter.pp_output_array());
+//    std::vector<pp::Var> result = adapter.output().

[dmichael (off chromium), 2012/03/09 18:23:27]

ditto on the example

[brettw, 2012/03/11 05:15:42]

I just changed these to const refs.

[dmichael (off chromium), 2012/03/13 05:04:04]

That's fine. I think non-const ref is also fine here (and allows swap).

+//
+// Thie one is non-inline since it's not templatized.
