This is a complex topic, and not really required if you are only interested in getting started with your project. However, when you feel that your objects are disappearing from under your hands, or if you're leaking memory like a sieve, then this is the place to turn to. </P><DIVCLASS="SECT1"><H1CLASS="SECT1"><ANAME="AEN2346">Pointers and references</A></H1><P>In order to be able to determine the relations between Python objects and C++ objects it is necessary to first gain a good understanding of <SPAN><ICLASS="EMPHASIS">what</I></SPAN> an object is, exactly, and what constitutes a reference to an object. </P><P>In C++, an object is simply a chunk of memory that contains executable bytes and data bytes. The executable bytes represent the functions, and the data bytes represent the values of the object variables. Of course, this is a simplified representation: the functions are shared by all objects of the same class, and there is some serious (and platform dependent) pointer logic needed to find them. But, basically, a C++ object is simply a stretch of memory that has to be allocated explicitly by the developer (using <TTCLASS="FUNCTION">new()</TT>), and also deallocated explicitly by the developer, with <TTCLASS="FUNCTION">delete()</TT>. </P><P>The object can be accessed by other parts of the application as long as its location in memory is known: the variable that contains the location is a pointer. If a programmer knows the size of an object, he can do fancy things (such as loop through the memory by adding the size of the object to the pointer) to get at the location of the next object. </P><P>However, once the pointer variable is lost, there's no longer a certain way of getting at the location of the object, and there's no way to delete the object—the memory will remain occupied for as long as the application runs, and there's <SPAN><ICLASS="EMPHASIS">no</I></SPAN> way it can be useful! This is called a memory leak, and is undoubtedly a bad thing. </P><P>One of the strengths of Python is that the programmer is freed of the responsibility of explicitly deleting objects. Python manages all objects for you. It does this by keeping track of <SPAN><ICLASS="EMPHASIS">references</I></SPAN> to every object. A reference is a variable, or an entry in a list that represents an object. For instance, run: </P><DIVCLASS="EXAMPLE"><ANAME="AEN2367"></A><P><B>Example 9-1. refs.py - showing object references</B></P><PRECLASS="PROGRAMLISTING">## refs.py#class theClass: passanObject=theClass()aList=[anObject]aDictionary={"key": anObject}print anObjectprint aListprint aDictionary </PRE></DIV><P>This will result in one object with three references, as you can see from the result of the <TTCLASS="FUNCTION">print</TT> statements:</P><PRECLASS="SCREEN"><__main__.theClass instance at 0x81d9cb4>[<__main__.theClass instance at 0x81d9cb4>]{'key': <__main__.theClass instance at 0x81d9cb4>}</PRE><P>The object instance (0x81dcb4 is the object's id hash) will only be deleted when the last reference is deleted. It is possible for references to disappear by going out of scope. If the references are created inside a function, then as soon as the function is finished running, the references disappear. References to variables can also be attached to both classes (a class is an object in Python), and to objects. In the first case, if the class disappears, then the references disappear. In the second case, if the last reference to the object disappears, all references that object ‘has' to other objects disappear, too.</P></DIV></DIV><DIVCLASS="NAVFOOTER"><HRALIGN="LEFT"WIDTH="100%"><TABLESUMMARY="Footer navigation table"WIDTH="100%"BORDER="0"CELLPADDING="0"CELLSPACING="0"><TR><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="left"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="x2183.htm"ACCESSKEY="P">Prev</A></TD><TDWIDTH="34%"ALIGN="center"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="book1.htm"ACCESSKEY="H">Home</A></TD><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="right"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="x2377.htm"ACCESSKEY="N">Next</A></TD></TR><TR><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="left"VALIGN="top">Unicode strings</TD><TDWIDTH="34%"ALIGN="center"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="p1032.htm"ACCESSKEY="U">Up</A></TD><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="right"VALIGN="top">Circular references</TD></TR></TABLE></DIV></BODY></HTML>⌨️ 快捷键说明
