[g-a-devel] reference counting, freeing of Accessibility * objects, documentation

["Quiring, Sam" <Sam Quiring windriver com>]

Greetings,

 

I am wondering if there is some documentation on using the

at-spi interface that I have not found and, if so, can someone

point me to it?

 

I stumbled across a google cache of a web page: http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:zSkEJnW2pdYJ:mlblog.osdir.com/gnome.accessibility.devel/2003-12/msg00014.shtml+Accessible_getRelationSet&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=19&gl=us&client=firefox-a

 

In this document, Michael Meeks replies to David Bolter:

     Yes - any method that returns an Accessible * has to return a new
     reference to it; otherwise it's impossible to manage lifecycle sensibly;
     thus you have to unref them when you're done.

 

I have suspected this, but have found no documentation until the

above, to know for sure.  Does the documentation exist?
