* * As you probably know, ANSI-C is not an object oriented language.
* Today, OOP (Object-Oriented Programing) is the best way to program well designed softwares.
* In this chapter a "well-defined object" is a special C structure. All functions shown in this chapter are part of tinySAK project.
* To explain how well-defined objects are implemented and used, We'll give an example based on "Person" object.
* The person object is declared like this:
* @code * typedef struct person_s { TSK_DECLARE_OBJECT; // Mandatory and used to tag a struct as a "well-defined object" char* name; struct person_s* girlfriend; } person_t; * @endcode Notice on the above code how @ref TSK_DECLARE_OBJECT macro is used to tag the struct. This macro must be the first element to appear an adds a definition (see next section) to the struct. *

@anchor _Anchor_TinySAK_Object_Definition Object Definition

* An object definition could be considered as a class definition. The definition holds the object’s mandatory functions, size and a reference counter.
* The mandatory functions are the constructor, the destructor and the comparator.
* A C structure is tagged as an object by using @ref TSK_DECLARE_OBJECT macro in its body.
* A pointer to an object definition shall point to a struct @ref tsk_object_def_s.
* @code typedef struct tsk_object_def_s { //! The size of the object. tsk_size_t size; //! Pointer to the constructor. tsk_object_t* (* constructor) (tsk_object_t *, va_list *); //! Pointer to the destructor. tsk_object_t* (* destructor) (tsk_object_t *); //! Pointer to the comparator. int (*comparator) (const tsk_object_t *, const tsk_object_t *); } tsk_object_def_t; * @endcode * *

* An object is created in two phases. The first phase consists of dynamically allocating the object on the heap; this is why its size is mandatory in the object definition structure. When a new object is allocated on the heap, all its members (char*, void*, int, long …) will be zeroed. In the second phase, the newly created object will be initialized by calling the supplied constructor. To perform these two phases, you should call @ref tsk_object_new() or @ref tsk_object_new_2(). *

*

* An object is destroyed in two phases. The first phase consists of freeing its members (void*, char* …). It’s the destructor which is responsible of this task. In the second phase, the object itself is freed. As the object cannot free itself, you should use @ref tsk_object_unref() or @ref tsk_object_delete() to perform these two phases. The difference between these two functions is explained in the coming sections. *

* A well-defined object must never be freed by yourself using free() standard C function. This task is up to the memory manager.
* Below, an example of how to declare an object definition:
* @code * //(Object defnition) static const tsk_object_def_t person_def_t = { sizeof(person_t), person_ctor, person_dtor, person_cmp }; * @endcode *

@anchor _Anchor_TinySAK_Object_Constructor Constructor

* The constructor is only responsible for the initialization and won’t allocate the object. When passed to the constructor, the object is already allocated.
* Here is an example:
* @code // (constructor) static tsk_object_t* person_ctor(tsk_object_t * self, va_list * app) { person_t *person = (person_t *)self; if(person){ person->name = tsk_strdup(va_arg(*app, const char *)); } return self; } * @endcode *

@anchor _Anchor_TinySAK_Object_Destructor Destructor

* The destructor will free the object’s members and won’t free the object itself (Phase 1). The destructor function must return a pointer to itself to allow the caller to perform the second phase (freeing the object itself).
* Here is an example:
* @code // (destructor) static tsk_object_t * person_dtor(tsk_object_t * self) { person_t *person = (person_t *)self; if(person){ TSK_FREE(person->name); tsk_object_unref(person->girlfriend);// do not use free() as it's a well-defined object } return self; } * @endcode *

@anchor _Anchor_TinySAK_Object_Comparator Comparator

* The comparator function is used to compare two "well-defined" objects. The objects to compare shall have the same definition (or type).
* Here is an example:
* @code // (comparator) static int person_cmp(const tsk_object_t *_p1, const tsk_object_t *_p2) { const person_t *p1 = (const person_t *)_p1; const person_t *p1 = (const person_t *)_p2; int ret; // do they have the same name? if((ret = tsk_stricmp(p1->name, p2->name))){ return ret; } // do they have the same girlfriend? if((ret = tsk_object_cmp(p1->girlfriend, p2->girlfriend))){ return ret; } // they are the same return 0; } * @endcode The comparator function is also used by the linked-list to sort "well-defined" objects. *

@anchor _Anchor_TinySAK_Object_Reference_Counting Reference counting

* Reference counting is used to emulate garbage collection. Each "well-defined" object contains a reference counter field which indicates how many object have a reference to the actual object.
* When an object is created (see below) the counter value is initialized to 1; this is automatically done and you have nothing to do. The counter is incremented by 1 when you call @ref tsk_object_ref() and decremented (by 1) when you call @ref tsk_object_unref().
* When the counter value reaches zero then, the object is garbaged (freed).
* Calling @ref tsk_object_delete() will destroy an object regardless the value of the reference counter. You should never call @ref tsk_object_delete() but @ref tsk_object_unref() instead. * *

@anchor _Anchor_TinySAK_Object_Inheritence Inheritence

* As you may expect, inheritance is not supported in ANSI-C.
* As any C Structure could be casted to a pointer to its first element, inheritance could be achieved like this:
* @code #include "tsk.h" // (a student is a person) typedef struct student_s { person_t* person; // Must be the first element and a "well-defined" object char* school; } student_t; // (as a student is a person you can do) student_t* s = tsk_null; //... create and initialize the object // then, cast a "student" as "person" to initialize additional fields ((person_t*)s)->name = tsk_strdup("bob"); * @endcode * * As person_t is a well-defined object, then student_t is also well-defined.
* *

@anchor _Anchor_TinySAK_Object_Basic_Usage Basic usage

* Once the object’s definition is declared and all its mandatory functions implemented, it is used like this:
* @code // creates a person: will call the constructor person_t* bob = tsk_object_new(&person_def_t, "bob"); // creates bob's girlfriend bob->girlfriend = tsk_object_new(&person_def_t, "alice"); // deletes bob: will delete both bob and bob's girlfriend field by calling their destructors tsk_object_unref(bob); * @endcode * As it’s hard to guest which parameters the construct expects, it’s common to use macro (or function) helpers. In our example the helper function will look like this: * @code // create a person static person_t* person_create(const char* name) { return (person_t*)tsk_object_new(&person_def_t, (const char*)name); } * * @endcode * * As the destructor has fixed parameters, there is a common macro to destroy all kind of well-defined objects.
* @ref TSK_OBJECT_SAFE_FREE() macro is used to destroy any well-defined object.
* The object will be freed only if; when decremented by 1 the reference count of the object is equal to zero. In all case (freed or not) the pointer value will be set to NULL to avoid trying to free the object again.
* The above example could be rewritten like this:
* @code #include "tsk.h" // create a person: will call the constructor person_t* bob = person_create("bob"); // create bob's girlfriend bob->girlfriend = person_create("alice"); // delete bob: will delete both bob and bob's girlfriend field by calling their destructors TSK_OBJECT_SAFE_FREE(bob); * @endcode * * *
