Detailed Description

The ObjectRef class is used to store an owning reference to a KanziObject instance.

The lifetime of the referred object is at least as long as the objectRef instance.

Calling the close method is highly recommended, most instances should be part of a try-with-resources block to ensure that the close method is automatically called when the variable goes out of scope.

Parameters

<ObjectType> The KanziObject derived type that is owned by this ObjectRef.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

ObjectRef<ObjectType> clone ( )

Creates a new ObjectRef instance that refers to the same Kanzi Object.

This increases the native reference count for the object. The original and created ObjectRef instances are both required to be closed independently.

◆ close()

void close ( )

Close the ObjectRef instance.

If no other references exist to the underlying KanziObject it is reclaimed.

◆ get()

ObjectType get ( )

Get the KanziObject derived type that is owned by this ObjectRef.

Returns: The Kanzi Object.
