Class Details¶

class Dex.Object¶

Abstract:: Yes

DexObject is the basic building block of types defined within libdex. Futures, Schedulers, and Channels all inherit from Dex.Object which provides features like thread-safe weak pointers and memory management operations.

Objects that are integrating with GIO instead inherit from their natural type in GIO.

ref()¶

Returns:: the object with its reference count increased
Return type:: Dex.Object

Acquires a reference on the given object, and increases its reference count by one.

unref()¶

Releases a reference on the given object, and decreases its reference count by one.

If it was the last reference, the resources associated to the instance are freed.
