# Weak Reference Objects

Python supports weak references as first-class objects. There are two specific object types which directly implement weak references. The first is a simple reference object, and the second acts as a proxy for the original object as much as it can.

int PyWeakref_Check(PyObject *ob)

  Return non-zero if ob is either a reference or proxy object. This function always succeeds.

int PyWeakref_CheckRef(PyObject *ob)

  Return non-zero if ob is a reference object or a subclass of the reference type. This function always succeeds.

int PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(PyObject *ob)

  Return non-zero if ob is a reference object, but not a subclass of the reference type. This function always succeeds.

int PyWeakref_CheckProxy(PyObject *ob)

  Return non-zero if ob is a proxy object. This function always succeeds.

PyObject *PyWeakref_NewRef(PyObject *ob, PyObject *callback)
  Возвращаемое значение: Новая ссылка. Часть Стабильный 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 referenceable object, this will raise `TypeError` and return `NULL`.

  `PyType_SUPPORTS_WEAKREFS()` for checking if ob is weakly referenceable.

PyObject *PyWeakref_NewProxy(PyObject *ob, PyObject *callback)
  Возвращаемое значение: Новая ссылка. Часть Стабильный 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 weakly referenceable object, this will raise `TypeError` and return `NULL`.

int PyWeakref_GetRef(PyObject *ref, PyObject **pobj)
  Часть Стабильный ABI начиная с версии 3.13.

  Get a strong reference to the referenced object from a weak reference, ref, into *pobj.

  - On success, set *pobj to a new strong reference to the referenced object and return 1.

  - If the reference is dead, set *pobj to `NULL` and return 0.

  - On error, raise an exception and return -1.

  Добавлено в версии 3.13.

int PyWeakref_IsDead(PyObject *ref)

  Test if the weak reference ref is dead. Returns 1 if the reference is dead, 0 if it is alive, and -1 with an error set if ref is not a weak reference object.

void PyObject_ClearWeakRefs(PyObject *object)
  Часть Стабильный 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.

void PyUnstable_Object_ClearWeakRefsNoCallbacks(PyObject *object)
  Это Нестабильный API. Это может измениться без предупреждения в минорных выпусках.

  Clears the weakrefs for object without calling the callbacks.

  This function is called by the `tp_dealloc` handler for types with finalizers (i.e., `__del__()`). The handler for those objects first calls `PyObject_ClearWeakRefs()` to clear weakrefs and call their callbacks, then the finalizer, and finally this function to clear any weakrefs that may have been created by the finalizer.

  In most circumstances, it’s more appropriate to use `PyObject_ClearWeakRefs()` to clear weakrefs instead of this function.
