==Synopsis==
|
|
|
|
<code lang="text">
|
|
#include "eif_hector.h"
|
|
|
|
EIF_OBJECT eif_protect (EIF_REFERENCE ref);
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
==Description==
|
|
|
|
The <code lang="text">eif_protect</code> function protects the Eiffel reference <code lang="text">ref</code> from the garbage collector. It keeps a reference on it so that the garbage collector does not collect it if it is not referenced from Eiffel any longer.
|
|
|
|
==Return value==
|
|
|
|
The <code lang="text">eif_protect</code> function returns an <code lang="text">EIF_OBJECT</code>. This <code lang="text">EIF_OBJECT</code> can be used later on to access <code lang="text">ref</code> with [[eif_access]].
|
|
|
|
==Conformance==
|
|
|
|
ISE Eiffel 4.4 and later.
|
|
|
|
==Compatibility==
|
|
|
|
<code lang="text">eif_protect</code> is equivalent to <code lang="text">henter</code>, which is deprecated.
