Hi,
I've already mentioned the proposal at
http://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-efl/2012-October/000393.html
but think (and since nobody replied so far) it deserves new topic and new thread, so duplicating proposal again here.
As all the ref-counting EWK classes are inherited from WTF::RefCounted
it is possible now to have generic REF/UNREF functions in the public API instead of
having separate pair of such functions for every object.
To say in more details we could introduce
struct Ewk_Ref_Counted Ewk_Ref_Counted;
and following generic functions:
EAPI Ewk_Ref_Counted* ewk_ref(Ewk_Ref_Counted*);
EAPI ewk_unref(Ewk_Ref_Counted*);
then Ewk_Back_Forward_List_Item might be declared for instance as
typedef Ewk_Ref_Counted Ewk_Back_Forward_List_Item;
so that it's clear that Ewk_Back_Forward_List_Item is ref-countable
(or we could just mention in docs that given object is ref counted).
Would like to hear your opinion about this proposal.
BTW, WK2 C API has geneiric ref/unfer functions and GTK also does.
BR,
Mikhail
