Detailed Description

defines a Qore-language class

Qore's classes can be either implemented by Qore language code (user classes) or in C++ (builtin classes), or both, as in the case of a builtin class that also has user methods.

m	the copy method to set // the actual function can be declared with the class to be expected as the private data as follows: static void AL_copy(const QoreClass &thisclass, const void* ptr, QoreObject* self, QoreObject* old, QoreAutoLock *m, ExceptionSink* xsink) ... // and then casted to (q_external_copy_t) in the addMethod call: QC_AutoLock->setCopy((q_external_copy_t)AL_copy);

setDeleteBlocker() [1/2]

DLLEXPORT void QoreClass::setDeleteBlocker

(

q_delete_blocker_t

m

)

sets the deleteBlocker method for the class

this method will be run when the object is deleted; it should be set only for classes where the objects' lifecycles are or may be managed externally. This function must be called before this class is added as a parent class to any other class; if it is called classes have added this class as a parent class, then the child classes will not have their delete blocker flag set.

Parameters

m	the deleteBlocker method to set

Note

delete blocker methods are called with the object's status lock held, therefore be very careful what you call from within the deleteBlocker function

setDeleteBlocker() [2/2]

DLLEXPORT void QoreClass::setDeleteBlocker

(

Parameters

m	the deleteBlocker method to set
