Hi Mike,
So I guess the code would look like this:
void MyDestructor(Persistent<Object> object, void*)
{
// do whatever cleanup is required
}
static v8::Handle<v8::Value> MyCallback(const v8::Arguments& args) {
// Create a new V8 object template with one internal field.
v8::Handle<v8::ObjectTemplate> my_templ = v8::ObjectTemplate::New();
my_templ->SetInternalFieldCount(1);
// Create a new MyClass instance.
MyClass* my_class = ...;
// Create a new persistent V8 object.
v8::Persistent<v8::Object> obj =
v8::Persistent<v8::Object>::New(my_templ->NewInstance());
// Attach the MyClass instance to the V8 object.
obj->SetInternalField(0, v8::External::New(my_class));
// Make the V8 object a weak reference and assign the destructor.
obj.MakeWeak(NULL, &MyDestructor);
return obj;
}
In what circumstances, if any, would it be appropriate to make the
ObjectTemplate a weak reference instead of the Object? Would any Objects
created with a weak reference ObjectTemplate automatically have the
destructor called for them?
Thanks,
Marshall
