okay bestie, this is a page from the m17n Library manual (the 3m17n one, iykyk) and it's literally all about Objects managed by the reference count. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

m17nObject_-_Managed_Ob — objects managed by the reference count. that's the whole vibe 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🎀 Data Structures

• struct M17NObjectHead — the first member of a managed object. yes queen, it goes first, it's the main character 👑

🦋 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. that's the definition, no notes ✋

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. it literally frees itself, self-care icon behavior 🌈

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. they're watching 👀

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. build your own, bestie, we love a DIY moment 🧚
