Detailed Description

This class further specializes CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount to also add a node_ref_count, for the purposes of counting the number of times the object is referenced by a "node", presumably a PandaNode.

This essentially combines the functionality of NodeReferenceCount and CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount, so that a derivative of this object actually has three counters: the standard reference count, the "cache" reference count, and the "node" reference count. Rather than multiply inheriting from the two reference count classes, we inherit only from CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount and simply duplicate the functionality of NodeReferenceCount, to avoid all of the problems associated with multiple inheritance.

The intended design is to use this as a base class for RenderState and TransformState, both of which are held by PandaNodes, and also have caches which are independently maintained. By keeping track of how many nodes hold a pointer to a particular object, we can classify each object into node-referenced, cache-referenced, or other, which is primarily useful for PStats reporting.

As with CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount's cache_ref() and cache_unref(), the new methods node_ref() and node_unref() automatically increment and decrement the primary reference count as well. In this case, however, there does exist a NodePointerTo<> class to maintain the node_ref counters automatically.

Member Function Documentation

cacheRef ( ) [inherited]

Explicitly increments the cache reference count and the normal reference count simultaneously.

Reimplemented in CopyOnWriteObject, TransformState, and RenderState.

bool cacheUnref ( ) [inherited]

Explicitly decrements the cache reference count and the normal reference count simultaneously.

The return value is true if the new reference count is nonzero, false if it is zero.

Reimplemented in TransformState, and RenderState.

static TypedWritableReferenceCount decodeFromBamStream ( string  data,
BamReader  reader 
) [static, inherited]

Reads the string created by a previous call to encode_to_bam_stream(), and extracts and returns the single object on that string.

Returns NULL on error.

This method is intended to replace decode_raw_from_bam_stream() when you know the stream in question returns an object of type TypedWritableReferenceCount, allowing for easier reference count management. Note that the caller is still responsible for maintaining the reference count on the return value.

static TypedWritableReferenceCount decodeFromBamStream ( string  data) [static, inherited]

Reads the string created by a previous call to encode_to_bam_stream(), and extracts and returns the single object on that string.

Returns NULL on error.

This method is intended to replace decode_raw_from_bam_stream() when you know the stream in question returns an object of type TypedWritableReferenceCount, allowing for easier reference count management. Note that the caller is still responsible for maintaining the reference count on the return value.

string encodeToBamStream ( ) [inherited]

Converts the TypedWritable object into a single stream of data using a BamWriter, and returns that data as a string string.

Returns empty string on failure.

This is a convenience method particularly useful for cases when you are only serializing a single object. If you have many objects to process, it is more efficient to use the same BamWriter to serialize all of them together.

bool encodeToBamStream ( basic_stringchar  data,
BamWriter  writer 
) [inherited]

Converts the TypedWritable object into a single stream of data using a BamWriter, and stores that data in the indicated string.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

This is a convenience method particularly useful for cases when you are only serializing a single object. If you have many objects to process, it is more efficient to use the same BamWriter to serialize all of them together.

bool encodeToBamStream ( basic_stringchar  data) [inherited]

Converts the TypedWritable object into a single stream of data using a BamWriter, and stores that data in the indicated string.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

This is a convenience method particularly useful for cases when you are only serializing a single object. If you have many objects to process, it is more efficient to use the same BamWriter to serialize all of them together.

UpdateSeq getBamModified ( ) [inherited]

Returns the current bam_modified counter.

This counter is normally incremented automatically whenever the object is modified.

int getCacheRefCount ( ) [inherited]

Returns the current reference count.

static TypeHandle getClassType ( ) [static]

Reimplemented from CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount.

Reimplemented in TransformState, and RenderState.

int getNodeRefCount ( )

Returns the current reference count.

int getRefCount ( ) [inherited]

Returns the current reference count.

int getReferencedBits ( )

Returns the union of the values defined in the Referenced enum that represents the various things that appear to be holding a pointer to this object.

If R_node is included, at least one node is holding a pointer; if R_cache is included, at least one cache element is.

TypeHandle getType ( ) [inherited]

Reimplemented in AnimChannelBase.

int getTypeIndex ( ) [inherited]

Returns the internal index number associated with this object's TypeHandle, a unique number for each different type.

This is equivalent to get_type().get_index().

bool isExactType ( TypeHandle  handle) [inherited]

Returns true if the current object is the indicated type exactly.

bool isOfType ( TypeHandle  handle) [inherited]

Returns true if the current object is or derives from the indicated type.

markBamModified ( ) [inherited]

Increments the bam_modified counter, so that this object will be invalidated and retransmitted on any open bam streams.

This should normally not need to be called by user code; it should be called internally when the object has been changed in a way that legitimately requires its retransmission to any connected clients.

nodeRef ( )

Explicitly increments the reference count.

This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

Reimplemented in TransformState, and RenderState.

bool nodeUnref ( )

Explicitly decrements the node reference count and the normal reference count simultaneously.

The return value is true if the new reference count is nonzero, false if it is zero.

Reimplemented in TransformState, and RenderState.

PyObject reduce ( PyObject  self) [inherited]

This special Python method is implement to provide support for the pickle module.

This hooks into the native pickle and cPickle modules, but it cannot properly handle self-referential BAM objects.

PyObject reducePersist ( PyObject  self,
PyObject  pickler 
) [inherited]

This special Python method is implement to provide support for the pickle module.

This is similar to __reduce__, but it provides additional support for the missing persistent-state object needed to properly support self-referential BAM objects written to the pickle stream. This hooks into the pickle and cPickle modules implemented in direct/src/stdpy.

ref ( ) [inherited]

Explicitly increments the reference count.

User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically.

This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

bool testRefCountIntegrity ( )

Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't completely bogus.

Reimplemented from CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount.

bool testRefCountNonzero ( ) [inherited]

Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't zero, or completely bogus.

Returns true if ok, false otherwise.

bool unref ( ) [inherited]

Explicitly decrements the reference count.

Note that the object will not be implicitly deleted by unref() simply because the reference count drops to zero. (Having a member function delete itself is problematic.) However, see the helper function unref_delete().

User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically.

This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

The return value is true if the new reference count is nonzero, false if it is zero.

Reimplemented in GeomVertexArrayFormat, and GeomVertexFormat.
