==SYNOPSYS==
|
|
<code>
|
|
'''#include "eif_hector.h"
|
|
|
|
EIF_OBJECT eif_protect (EIF_REFERENCE''' ''ref''''');'''</code>
|
|
|
|
==DESCRIPTION==
|
|
The '''eif_protect()''' function protects the Eiffel reference ''ref'' from the GC. 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 '''eif_protect()''' function returns an EIF_OBJECT. This EIF_OBJECT can be used later on to access ''ref'' with '''eif_access ()'''.
|
|
==CONFORMANCE==
|
|
ISE Eiffel 4.4 and later.
|
|
==COMPATIBILTY==
|
|
It is equivalent to '''henter()''', which is deprecated.
|
|
==SEE ALSO==
|
|
'''eif_access'''(1), '''eif_adopt'''(1) , '''eif_wean'''(1).
