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.

Invalid handle value

Handle datum destructor.

Parameters

datum Datum to destroy

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.

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.

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.

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.
