module FFI
  #
  #  FFI::ManagedStruct allows custom garbage-collection of your FFI::Structs.
  #
  #  The typical use case would be when interacting with a library
  #  that has a nontrivial memory management design, such as a linked
  #  list or a binary tree.
  #
  #  When the Struct instance is garbage collected, FFI::ManagedStruct will
  #  invoke the class's release() method during object finalization.
  #
  #  Example usage:
  #    module MyLibrary
  #      ffi_lib "libmylibrary"
  #      attach_function :new_dlist, [], :pointer
  #      attach_function :destroy_dlist, [:pointer], :void
  #    end
  #
  #    class DoublyLinkedList < FFI::ManagedStruct
  #      @@@
  #      struct do |s|
  #        s.name 'struct dlist'
  #        s.include 'dlist.h'
  #        s.field :head, :pointer
  #        s.field :tail, :pointer
  #      end
  #      @@@
  #
  #      def self.release ptr
  #        MyLibrary.destroy_dlist(ptr)
  #      end
  #    end
  #
  #    begin
  #      ptr = DoublyLinkedList.new(MyLibrary.new_dlist)
  #      #  do something with the list
  #    end
  #    # struct is out of scope, and will be GC'd using DoublyLinkedList#release
  #
  #
  class ManagedStruct < FFI::Struct

    # call-seq:
    #   ManagedStruct.new(pointer)
    #   ManagedStruct.new
    #
    # When passed a pointer, create a new ManagedStruct which will invoke the class method release() on 
    def initialize(pointer=nil)
