NAME
m17nObject_-_Managed_Ob - - Objects managed by the reference count
SYNOPSIS
Data Structures
struct M17NObjectHead
The first member of a managed object.
Functions
void * m17n_object (int size, void(*freer)(void *))
int m17n_object_ref (void *object)
Increment the reference count of a managed object.
int m17n_object_unref (void *object)
Decrement the reference count of a managed object.
Detailed Description
Objects managed by the reference count
Managed objects are objects managed by the reference count.
There are some types of m17n objects that are managed by their reference
count. Those objects are called managed objects. When created, the
reference count of a managed object is initialized to one. The
m17n_object_ref() function increments the reference count of a managed
object by one, and the m17n_object_unref() function decrements by one. A
managed object is automatically freed when its reference count becomes
zero.
A property whose key is a managing key can have only a managed object as
its value. Some functions, for instance msymbol_put() and mplist_put(),
pay special attention to such a property.
In addition to the predefined managed object types, users can define
their own managed object types. See the documentation of the
m17n_object() for more details.
