# 弱参照オブジェクト

Python は 弱参照 を第一級オブジェクト (first-class object) としてサポートします。弱参照を直接実装する二種類の固有のオブジェクト型があります。第一は単純な参照オブジェクトで、第二はオリジナルのオブジェクトに対して可能な限りプロキシとして振舞うオブジェクトです。

int PyWeakref_Check( PyObject *ob)

  Return true if ob is either a reference or proxy object. This function always succeeds.

int PyWeakref_CheckRef( PyObject *ob)

  Return true if ob is a reference object. This function always succeeds.

int PyWeakref_CheckProxy( PyObject *ob)

  Return true if ob is a proxy object. This function always succeeds.

PyObject *PyWeakref_NewRef( PyObject *ob, PyObject *callback)
  戻り値: 新しい参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

  Return a weak reference object for the object ob. This will always return a new reference, but is not guaranteed to create a new object; an existing reference object may be returned. The second parameter, callback, can be a callable object that receives notification when ob is garbage collected; it should accept a single parameter, which will be the weak reference object itself. callback may also be `None` or `NULL`. If ob is not a weakly referencable object, or if callback is not callable, `None`, or `NULL`, this will return `NULL` and raise `TypeError`.

PyObject *PyWeakref_NewProxy( PyObject *ob, PyObject *callback)
  戻り値: 新しい参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

  Return a weak reference proxy object for the object ob. This will always return a new reference, but is not guaranteed to create a new object; an existing proxy object may be returned. The second parameter, callback, can be a callable object that receives notification when ob is garbage collected; it should accept a single parameter, which will be the weak reference object itself. callback may also be `None` or `NULL`. If ob is not a weakly referencable object, or if callback is not callable, `None`, or `NULL`, this will return `NULL` and raise `TypeError`.

PyObject *PyWeakref_GetObject( PyObject *ref)
  戻り値: 借用参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

  Return the referenced object from a weak reference, ref. If the referent is no longer live, returns `Py_None`.

  注釈

  This function returns a borrowed reference to the referenced object. This means that you should always call `Py_INCREF()` on the object except when it cannot be destroyed before the last usage of the borrowed reference.

PyObject *PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT( PyObject *ref)
  戻り値: 借用参照。

  Similar to `PyWeakref_GetObject()`, but does no error checking.

void PyObject_ClearWeakRefs( PyObject *object)
  次に属します: Stable ABI.

  This function is called by the `tp_dealloc` handler to clear weak references.

  This iterates through the weak references for object and calls callbacks for those references which have one. It returns when all callbacks have been attempted.
