ExceptionPorts::GetExceptionPorts() returned a
std::vector<ExceptionPorts::ExceptionHandler>, which contained send
rights to Mach ports. The interface required callers to assume ownership
of each send right contained within the vector. This was cumbersome and
error-prone, and despite the care taken in Crashpad, port right leaks
did occur:
- SimulateCrash() didn’t make any attempt to release these resources at
all.
- Neither did crashpad_util_test ExceptionPorts.HostExceptionPorts,
which also reused a vector.
This replaces the vector with the interface-compatible (as far as
necessary) ExceptionPorts::ExceptionHandlerVector, which deallocates
collected port rights on destruction or clear().

implicit_cast<> only performs a cast in cases where an implicit
conversion would be possible. It’s even safer than static_cast<> It’s an
“explicit implicit” cast, which is not normally necsesary, but is
frequently required when working with the ?: operator, functions like
std::min() and std::max(), and logging and testing macros.
The public style guide does not mention implicit_cast<> only because it
is not part of the standard library, but would otherwise require it in
these situations. Since base does provide implicit_cast<>, it should be
used whenever possible.
The only uses of static_cast<> not converted to implicit_cast<> are
those that require static_cast<>, such as those that assign an integer
constant to a variable of an enum type.
