If you have a class defined in the package file for an external native
library and wanted to stash the class object in the native code, you
wouldn't need to request a global reference for it would you? Or
would you? (This is to prevent it from being garbage collected.)
I'm thinking that the class object would always be around until the
package is unloaded. For example, in the ooDialog package, I have a
Size class defined:
::class 'Size' public
Then in the native code, I do a FindContextClass("SIZE"), over and
over each time I need to create a new Size object. I was thinking of
doing a lazy lookup, the first time I need the Size class object do
the FindContextClass("SIZE") and then keep the reference to the class
object so it doesn't need to be looked up again.
My assumption is the class object is never garbage collected while the
package is loaded. But, I'm not sure if that is a valid assumption.
