If a recursive structure is created then it's guaranteed to be the programmer's fault, and the programmer deserves every memory leak he gets. When cared for and fed daily, refcounting is a very nifty tool. Entire structures can be destroyed cleanly by a single mowgli_json_decref. To fully take advantage of this, know the refcounting rules: o JSON objects as arguments should NEVER have a reference for the callee. If the callee wants to keep the object somewhere, they will incref themselves. o When returning a JSON object, be sure to leave a single reference for the caller. (If you tried to decref before returning, you could potentially drop the refcount to zero.) o Newly created structures are the sole exception to the previous rule. This is because it is useful to be able to use constructors as arguments to functions as follows: mowgli_json_object_add(obj, "sum", mowgli_json_create_integer(10)); Note that this ONLY applies to the mowgli_json_create_* constructors provided by mowgli.json. The typical case of assigning a new structure to a variable name then looks like this: my_integer = mowgli_json_incref(mowgli_json_create_integer(0)); Since failure to pay attention to reference counts will cause memory problems, *always double check your reference counting*! --aji */ #ifndef MOWGLI_JSON_H #define MOWGLI_JSON_H /* Types with public definitons */ typedef enum { MOWGLI_JSON_TAG_NULL, MOWGLI_JSON_TAG_BOOLEAN, /* JSON does not distinguish between integers or floating points (they are both just number types), but in C we are forced to make the distinction */ MOWGLI_JSON_TAG_INTEGER, MOWGLI_JSON_TAG_FLOAT, MOWGLI_JSON_TAG_STRING, MOWGLI_JSON_TAG_ARRAY, MOWGLI_JSON_TAG_OBJECT, } mowgli_json_tag_t; typedef struct _mowgli_json_t mowgli_json_t; /* Types whose definitons are kept private */ typedef struct _mowgli_json_parse_t mowgli_json_parse_t; struct _mowgli_json_t { mowgli_json_tag_t tag; int refcount; union { bool v_bool; int v_int; double v_float; mowgli_string_t *v_string; mowgli_list_t *v_array; mowgli_patricia_t *v_object; } v; }; /* Helper macros useful for cleanly interacting with mowgli_json_t structs.
