Detailed Description

The CDefinition class keeps track of static variables and names for a type of rebi as well as the names of local members and how they should be instantiated.

All CThings are associated with a CDefinition, but a CDefinition may be pointed to by more than one CThing. CDefinitions have their own internal refernce counting mechanism. CDefinitions each have an internal mutex that should be acquired before using their member variables.

Member Function Documentation

void CDefinition::Construct (  CProcessData *  owner  )

The Construct function sets up the internal structure of the CDefinition object. If you create a CDefinition though a call to malloc or new you must call its construct function after creating it. The Construct function is properly used by any functions in this API that returns a new CDefintion. See also: CDefinition::Destruct()

void CDefinition::Destruct (   )

The Destruct function properly de-allocates and cleans up the internal structure of a CDefinition. If you are manually destroying a CDefinition by any method you must call Destruct on it before doing so. Failure to call Destruct will cause memory leaks. See also: CDefinition::Construct()
