/**
* SECTION:rcbox
* @Title: Reference counted data
* @Short_description: Allocated memory with reference counting semantics
*
* A "reference counted box", or "RcBox", is an opaque wrapper data type
* that is guaranteed to be as big as the size of a given data type, and
* which augments the given data type with reference counting semantics
* for its memory management.
*
* RcBox is useful if you have a plain old data type, like a structure
* typically placed on the stack, and you wish to provide additional API
* to use it on the heap; or if you want to implement a new type to be
* passed around by reference without necessarily implementing copy/free
* semantics or your own reference counting.
*
* The typical use is:
*
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* typedef struct {
* char *name;
* char *address;
* char *city;
* char *state;
* int age;
* } Person;
*
* Person *
* person_new (void)
* {
* return g_rc_box_new0 (Person);
* }
* ]|
*
* Every time you wish to acquire a reference on the memory, you should
* call g_rc_box_acquire(); similarly, when you wish to release a reference
* you should call g_rc_box_release():
*
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* // Add a Person to the Database; the Database acquires ownership
* // of the Person instance
* void
* add_person_to_database (Database *db, Person *p)
* {
* db->persons = g_list_prepend (db->persons, g_rc_box_acquire (p));
* }
*
* // Removes a Person from the Database; the reference acquired by
* // add_person_to_database() is released here
* void
* remove_person_from_database (Database *db, Person *p)
* {
* db->persons = g_list_remove (db->persons, p);
* g_rc_box_release (p);
* }
* ]|
*
* If you have additional memory allocated inside the structure, you can
* use g_rc_box_release_full(), which takes a function pointer, which
* will be called if the reference released was the last:
*
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* void
* person_clear (Person *p)
* {
* g_free (p->name);
* g_free (p->address);
* g_free (p->city);
* g_free (p->state);
* }
*
* void
* remove_person_from_database (Database *db, Person *p)
* {
* db->persons = g_list_remove (db->persons, p);
* g_rc_box_release_full (p, (GDestroyNotify) person_clear);
* }
* ]|
*
* If you wish to transfer the ownership of a reference counted data
* type without increasing the reference count, you can use g_steal_pointer():
*
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* Person *p = g_rc_box_new (Person);
*
* // fill_person_details() is defined elsewhere
* fill_person_details (p);
*
* // add_person_to_database_no_ref() is defined elsewhere; it adds
* // a Person to the Database without taking a reference
* add_person_to_database_no_ref (db, g_steal_pointer (&p));
* ]|
*
* ## Thread safety
*
* The reference counting operations on data allocated using g_rc_box_alloc(),
* g_rc_box_new(), and g_rc_box_dup() are not thread safe; it is your code's
* responsibility to ensure that references are acquired are released on the
* same thread.
*
* If you need thread safe reference counting, see the [atomic reference counted
* data][arcbox] API.
*
* ## Automatic pointer clean up
*
* If you want to add g_autoptr() support to your plain old data type through
* reference counting, you can use the G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC() and
* g_rc_box_release():
*
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC (MyDataStruct, g_rc_box_release)
* ]|
*
* If you need to clear the contents of the data, you will need to use an
* ancillary function that calls g_rc_box_release_full():
*
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* static void
* my_data_struct_release (MyDataStruct *data)
* {
* // my_data_struct_clear() is defined elsewhere
* g_rc_box_release_full (data, (GDestroyNotify) my_data_struct_clear);
* }
*
* G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC (MyDataStruct, my_data_struct_release)
* ]|
*
* Since: 2.58
