Jule Manual

Appearance

Reference Counting ​

Jule's reference counting functionality for allocations is provided in the API. The ref.hpp header contains the Ptr struct for reference counting.

Variables ​

cpp
constexpr signed int REFERENCE_DELTA;

The reference counting data delta value that must occur per each reference counting operation.

Functions ​

cpp
template<typename T>
jule::Ptr<T> new_ptr(void);

Equavelent of Jule's new(T) call.

cpp
template<typename T>
jule::Ptr<T> new_ptr(const T &init);

Equavelent of Jule's new(T, EXPR) call.

Structures ​

cpp
template<typename T>
struct Ptr;

Wrapper structure for raw pointer of JuleC. This structure is the used by Jule references for reference-counting and memory management.

Statics ​

cpp
static jule::Ptr<T>
make(T *ptr, jule::Uint *ref);

Creates new reference from allocation and reference counting allocation. Reference does not counted if reference count allocation is null.

cpp
static jule::Ptr<T>
make(T *ptr);

Creates new reference from allocation. Allocates new allocation for reference counting data and starts counting to jule::REFERENCE_DELTA.

Methods ​

cpp
void drop(void);

Drops reference. This function will destruct this instace for reference counting. Frees memory if reference counting reaches to zero.
