MulleObjCAutoreleasePool

Core class providing autorelease functionality and utilities in mulle-objc.

Functions

Object Autoreleasing

• _MulleObjCAutoreleaseObject - Autoreleases a single object
• _MulleObjCAutoreleaseObjects - Autoreleases multiple objects
• _MulleObjCAutoreleaseSpacedObjects - Autoreleases objects with stride

Pool Configuration

• _mulle_objc_poolconfiguration_init - Initializes pool configuration
• _mulle_objc_poolconfiguration_reset - Resets pool configuration
• _mulle_objc_poolconfiguration_done - Cleans up pool configuration

Thread Management

• mulle_objc_thread_new_poolconfiguration - Creates new thread pool configuration
• mulle_objc_thread_reset_poolconfiguration - Resets thread pool configuration
• mulle_objc_thread_done_poolconfiguration - Cleans up thread pool configuration

Usage Example

// Autorelease objects
id obj = _MulleObjCAutoreleaseObject(someObject);

// Batch autorelease
id objects[3] = {obj1, obj2, obj3};
_MulleObjCAutoreleaseObjects(objects, 3, universe);

// Thread pool management
struct _mulle_objc_poolconfiguration *config;
config = mulle_objc_thread_new_poolconfiguration(universe);
// ... use pool ...
mulle_objc_thread_done_poolconfiguration(universe);

Important Notes

1. Thread Safety
   • Per-thread configurations
   • Proper initialization/cleanup
   • Coroutine handling
2. Performance
   • Batch operations when possible
   • Efficient pool hierarchy
   • Minimize memory overhead
3. Memory Management
   • Initialize pools properly
   • Clean up pools when done
   • Handle nested pools correctly
4. Error Handling
   • Proper initialization
   • Cleanup handling
   • Error conditions
5. Best Practices
   • Use thread-local configurations
   • Manage thread lifecycles
   • Handle coroutine cases
