Programming .NET Components 2nd 学习笔记（三）

4.2. Traditional Memory De-allocation Schemas

.NET在释放内存和销毁对象上不同于C++、COM。在C++中，一个基于栈的对象离开声明范围时将会销毁：

{//beginning of a C++ scope
     MyClass object;
     //use object;
}//end of scope, C++ calls the object destructor

 

同样，在C++中使用delete操作符也会销毁对象：

MyClass* pObject = new MyClass;
//using pObject, then de-allocating it
delete pObject;

 

COM使用了引用计数，它会根据客户端增加或减少一个对象的计数器。当客户端共享一个对象时，调用AddRef( )增加计数器。新的COM对象在创建时计数为1。当客户端使用完一个对象后，调用Release( )减少该计数器：

//COM pseudo-code:
IMyInterface* pObject = NULL;
::CoCreateInstance(CLSID_MyClass,IID_IMyInterface,&pObject);
//using pObject, then releasing it
pObject->Release(  );

 

当一个计数等于0时，这个对象将会销毁：

//COM implementation of IUnknown::Release(  )
ULONG MyClass::Release(  )
{
    //m_Counter is this class counter
    m_Counter--;
    if(m_Counter == 0)
    {
       delete this;
       return 0;
    }
    //Should return the counter:
    return m_Counter;
}
