FILE_LICENCE()

FILE_LICENCE

(

GPL2_OR_LATER_OR_UBDL

)

FILE_SECBOOT()

FILE_SECBOOT

(

PERMITTED

)

ref_increment()

void ref_increment

(

struct refcnt *

refcnt

)

Increment reference count.

Parameters

refcnt

Reference counter, or NULL

If refcnt is NULL, no action is taken.

Definition at line 43 of file refcnt.c.

                                             {
 
        if ( refcnt ) {
                refcnt->count++;
                DBGC2 ( refcnt, "REFCNT %p incremented to %d\n",
                        refcnt, refcnt->count );
        }
}

ref_decrement()

void ref_decrement

(

struct refcnt *

refcnt

)

Decrement reference count.

Parameters

refcnt

Reference counter, or NULL

If the reference count decreases below zero, the object's free() method will be called.

If refcnt is NULL, no action is taken.
