Detailed Description

Counted objects are objects that use a counter to keep track of how many other objects need them, and delete themselves when nobody needs them anymore. A counted object has an AddRef method that increments its counter, and a Release method that decrements it. When the value of the counter reaches zero, the object is deleted.

Take a look at TMCCountedCreateHelper to see how to create and return a counted object

Note:

If your object can be accessed by two threads at the same time, you ought to derive it from TMCSMPCountedObject (it uses an atomic counter).

Member Function Documentation

uint32 TMCCountedObject::AddRef (   )  [inline, virtual]

Increments the reference count of the object Implements IMCUnknown. Reimplemented in TBasicMenuCallBack, and TBasicThread.

static void TMCCountedObject::Create (  TMCCountedObject **  outObject  )  [static]

void TMCCountedObject::operator delete (  void *  block  )

void TMCCountedObject::operator delete[] (  void *  block  )

void* TMCCountedObject::operator new (  MCSIZE_T  byteCount  )

void* TMCCountedObject::operator new[] (  MCSIZE_T  byteCount  )

virtual MCErr MCCOMAPI TMCCountedObject::QueryInterface (  const MCIID &  riid, void **  ppvObj )  [virtual]

Check if the object supports a given interface and returns a pointer to that interface if it does. Note that QueryInterface will increment the reference count of the object by one if the interface is found. Parameters: riid  GUID of the interface ppvObj  A pointer to the pointer being returned. Implements IMCUnknown. Reimplemented in TBasicMenuCallBack, and TBasicThread.

uint32 TMCCountedObject::Release (   )  [inline, virtual]

Decrements the reference count of the object. If the reference count reaches zero, the object is destroyed. Implements IMCUnknown. Reimplemented in TBasicMenuCallBack, and TBasicThread.
