405a578c42 WIP: interface open/close handling cross dependencies 2008-10-15 16:05:17 +02:00

4414af3751 add a 'weak' flag for interface_acquire/release()
When interfaces cross depend on each other nested acquiring from
their acquire handlers would introduce cyclic references which cant
be cleaned easily. By flagging such nested acquisitions as weak the
respective handler functions can account for this.

Example: maintain 2 ref counters one for strong and one for weak
acquisitions. At release time all acquired nested handles get closed when
the strong counter drops to zero, which causes that cross reference
releases will eventually drop the weak count to zero too. Then all
resources can be freed and the interface is properly shut down.
