Detailed Description
Handle Table for Reference Counting Data.
The globus_handle_table_t abstraction provides a reference-counting handle table to automatically free data when there are no more references to it. Each datum in the globus_handle_table_t container has a count associated with it which may be incremented and decremented in single steps or by an increment. While a handle has any references to it, the globus_handle_table_lookup() will return the datum associated with the handle, otherwise it will return NULL. The value of a globus_handle_t is not reused until INT_MAX data have been inserted into the handle table.
Macro Definition Documentation
#define GLOBUS_NULL_HANDLE
Invalid handle value
Typedef Documentation
typedef void(* globus_handle_destructor_t) (void *datum)
Handle datum destructor.
- Parameters
datum Datum to destroy
Function Documentation
globus_bool_t globus_handle_table_decrement_reference (globus_handle_table_t * handle_table, globus_handle_t handle)
Remove a reference to a handle. Remove a reference to a handle table entry, calling its destructor if no more references exist for the handle.
- Parameters
handle_table The table that the handle was created in.
handle
The handle to a datum to decrement the reference count for.- Returns
The globus_handle_table_decrement_reference() function returns a boolean value indicating whether the handle still references a valid datum.
int globus_handle_table_destroy (globus_handle_table_t * handle_table)
Destroy a handle table. Destroy a handle table and call the destructor for all objects associated with it.
- Parameters
handle_table Pointer to the handle table to destroy
globus_bool_t globus_handle_table_increment_reference (globus_handle_table_t * handle_table, globus_handle_t handle)
Add a reference to a handle table entry.
- Parameters
handle_table The table that the handle was created in.
handle
The handle to a datum to increment the reference count for.- Returns
The globus_handle_table_increment_reference() function returns a boolean value indicating whether the handle still references a valid datum.
globus_bool_t globus_handle_table_increment_reference_by (globus_handle_table_t * handle_table, globus_handle_t handle, unsigned int inc)
Increment the reference count for handle.
- Parameters
handle_table The table that the handle was created in.
handle
The handle to a datum to increment the reference count for.
inc The number of references to add the handle.- Returns
The globus_handle_table_increment_reference_by() function returns a boolean value indicating whether the handle still references a valid datum.
int globus_handle_table_init (globus_handle_table_t * handle_table, globus_handle_destructor_t destructor)
Initialize a table of unique reference counted handles.
- Parameters
handle_table the table of unique handles we want to use.
destructor Function to call to free the data associated with a handle when the handle's reference count reaches 0 or the handle table is destroyed.
globus_handle_t globus_handle_table_insert (globus_handle_table_t * handle_table, void * value, int initial_refs)
Insert a datum into a handle table
Insert a value into the handle table, and return a unique handle to it.
- Parameters
handle_table Handle table to add the value to
value The value to insert into the table
initial_refs The initial reference count of this value in the table- Returns
The globus_handle_table_insert() function returns a unique handle to value.
void * globus_handle_table_lookup (globus_handle_table_t * handle_table, globus_handle_t handle)
Resolve a handle its datum.
- Parameters
handle_table The table that the handle was created in.
handle
The handle to a datum to resolve- Returns
The globus_handle_table_lookup() function returns the datum associated with the handle in the handle table, or NULL if the handle does not reference valid data.
