MCTTokenInterface Class Reference

class MCTTokenInterface

The base class for all token interfaces.

This class provides functionality to interact with the token's reference counting framework. (Interfaces themselves are not reference counted, but the token must remain open while it has open interfaces.)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~MCTTokenInterface()

~MCTTokenInterface ( ) [protected, inline, pure virtual]

The interface should be destroyed via the Release() function. Hence, this destructor is protected.

Destructor

Member Functions Documentation

DoRelease()

IMPORT_C void DoRelease ( ) [protected, virtual]

This function should release the interface and all its owned resources.

It is called by Release() . The default implementation simply does a 'delete this'. If other behaviour is required (for instance to implement a reference counting system for the interfaces themselves, the interfaces can override this function.)

Release()

IMPORT_C void Release ( )

Destroys the object.

The interface should be destroyed via this method as the destructor is protected.

Also takes care of reference counting the token.

Token()

MCTToken & Token ( ) [pure virtual]

Gets the associated token.
