# toy_reffunction.h
|
|
|
|
This header defines the Toy_RefFunction structure, as well as all of the related utilities.
|
|
|
|
See [Toy_RefString](toy_refstring_h.md) for more information about the reference pattern.
|
|
|
|
This module reserves the right to instead preform a deep copy when it sees fit (this is for future debugging purposes).
|
|
|
|
## Defined Interfaces
|
|
|
|
### typedef void* (*Toy_RefFunctionAllocatorFn)(void* pointer, size_t oldSize, size_t newSize)
|
|
|
|
This interface conforms to Toy's memory API, and generally shouldn't be used without a good reason.
|
|
|
|
## Defined Functions
|
|
|
|
### void Toy_setRefFunctionAllocatorFn(Toy_RefFunctionAllocatorFn)
|
|
|
|
This function conforms to and is invoked by Toy's memory API, and generally shouldn't be used without a good reason.
|
|
|
|
### Toy_RefFunction* Toy_createRefFunction(const void* data, size_t length)
|
|
|
|
This function returns a new `Toy_RefFunction`, containing a copy of `data`, or `NULL` on error.
|
|
|
|
This function also sets the returned `refFunction`'s reference counter to 1.
|
|
|
|
### void Toy_deleteRefFunction(Toy_RefFunction* refFunction)
|
|
|
|
This function reduces the `refFunction`'s reference counter by 1 and, if it reaches 0, frees the memory.
|
|
|
|
### int Toy_countRefFunction(Toy_RefFunction* refFunction)
|
|
|
|
This function returns the total number of references to `refFunction`, for debugging.
|
|
|
|
### size_t Toy_lengthRefFunction(Toy_RefFunction* refFunction)
|
|
|
|
This function returns the length of the underlying bytecode of `refFunction`.
|
|
|
|
### Toy_RefFunction* Toy_copyRefFunction(Toy_RefFunction* refFunction)
|
|
|
|
This function increases the reference counter of `refFunction` by 1, before returning the given pointer.
|
|
|
|
This function reserves the right to create a deep copy where needed.
|
|
|
|
### Toy_RefFunction* Toy_deepCopyRefFunction(Toy_RefFunction* refFunction)
|
|
|
|
This function behaves identically to `Toy_copyRefFunction`, except that it explicitly forces a deep copy of the internal memory. Using this function should be done carefully, as it incurs a performance penalty that negates the benefit of this module.
