Constructs the object and initializes the reference count to one.

Once constructed, a reference counting object cannot be deleted until its reference count is reduced to zero.

CObject::Close

Destructor.

It removes this reference counting object from its object container, a CObjectCon type.

Gets the number of open references to this reference counting object.

Closes this reference counting object.

The default behaviour decrements the reference count by one. If this becomes zero, then the function deletes this reference counting object.

Where a derived class implements its own version of this function, it can use the protected member function Dec() to decrement the reference count or make a base call to this function.

Subtracts one from the reference count.

This function is called by the default implementation of the Close() member function of this class.

CObject::Close

Extension function

Gets the full name of this reference counting object.

By default, the full name is a concatenation of this reference counting object's name with the full name of its owning reference counting object.

Adds one to the reference count.

This function is called by the default implementation of the Open() member function of this class.

CObject::Open

Gets the name of this reference counting object.

The default behaviour provided by this function depends on whether a name has been explicitly set into the object:

if a name has previously been set, then the function returns that name.

if a name has not been set, then the function builds a default name. This is fourteen characters and has the format: LOCAL-nnnnnnnn where nnnnnnnn is the hexadecimal character representation of this reference counting object's address. This default name is, therefore, guaranteed to be unique within the current process.

Opens this reference counting object.

The default behaviour increments the reference count by one and returns KErrNone. Where a derived class implements its own version of this function, it must either use the protected member function Inc() to increment the reference count or make a base call to this function.

Gets a pointer to the reference counting object which owns this reference counting object.

Sets or clears this reference counting object's name.

To set the name, the specified descriptor must contain the name to be set. Once the name has been successfully set, then the specified source descriptor can be discarded.

To clear an existing name, specify a NULL argument.

Sets or clears this reference counting object's name, and leaves on error.

To set the name, the specified descriptor must contain the name to be set. Once the name has been successfully set, then the specified source descriptor can be discarded.

To clear an existing name, specify a NULL argument.

The function leaves if there is insufficient memory.

Sets the owner of this reference counting object.

If this reference counting object already has an owner, then all knowledge of that owner is lost.

Gets this reference counting object's unique ID.

The unique ID is an integer which is a property of the object container. It forms part of the identity of all reference counting objects and is the same value for all reference counting objects held within the same object container.
