Synopsis
#include "eif_hector.h"
EIF_OBJECT eif_protect (EIF_REFERENCE ref);
Description
The eif_protect
function protects the Eiffel reference ref
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 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.
Compatibility
eif_protect
is equivalent to henter
, which is deprecated.
