| <b>Garbage Collector For Delphi Objects and Components</b><br> | |
| <p> </p> | |
| <blockquote class="abstract"><b>Abstract: </b>Automatic memory management | |
| of Delphi objects and components. By Rossen Assenov.</blockquote> | |
| <p> </p> | |
| <p>One of the fundamental questions in object oriented programming is how | |
| the memory management of objects should be done. Different languages | |
| take different approaches. C++ calls the constructor/destructor of | |
| stack allocated objects automaticaly, but for heap allocated objects | |
| you have to do it manually and there is no try..finally statement. In | |
| Java you create the objects when you need them and the garabage collector | |
| takes care of the memory cleanup, but there are no destructors, so you | |
| can not explictly say you don't need an object anymore and there is little | |
| control over the process of garbage collection.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| Delphi provides three ways of object management :<br> | |
| <br> | |
| 1. Create/destroy the objects using try..finally.<br> | |
| 2. Use TComponent descendants - create a component and | |
| let its owner free it.<br> | |
| 3. Interfaces - when the reference count for an interface | |
| becomes 0 the object which implements it is destroyed.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| Interfaces are great for new development - start using | |
| them ! ;) - but sometimes they can be an overhead because there are | |
| two declarations of the same thing. Also, most of the base VCL classes | |
| - TList, TStream, etc. - are not components or interface enabled - | |
| so you have to create/destroy them explicitly.</p> | |
| <h3>THE OBJECT SAFE</h3> | |
| The Delphi help says you shouldn't mix the TComponent | |
| owner approach with the interface memory management, but as always | |
| the forbidden fruit is the sweetest ;). As you'll see it is really | |
| useful to have a TComponent descendant which implements an interface | |
| and at the same time IS reference counted so when it goes out of scope | |
| it frees itself and all the components it owns. We'll extend it so it | |
| keeps a list of TObjects and frees them too.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| Lets name the interface IObjectSafe and the reference counted | |
| TComponent descendent which implements it - TObjectSafe.<br> | |

| <p>How do you use a safe ? It's pretty simple :<br> | |
| </p> | |
| <pre class="sourcecode"><code><br><b>procedure</b> TestTheSafe;<br><br> <b>var</b> aMyObject : TMyObject;<br> aMyComponent : TMyComponent;<br><br><b>begin</b><br> <b>with</b> ObjectSafe <b>do</b><br> <b>begin</b><br> New (aMyObject, TMyObject.Create);<br><br> <font color="#003399"><i>// or</i></font><br> <font color="#003399"><i>// aMyObject := TMyObject.Create; Guard (aMyObject);</i></font><br> <br> aMyComponent := TMyComponent.Create (Safe);<br> <b>end</b>;<br><b>end</b>;<br><br></code></pre> | |
| <p>Notice the use of the 'with' statement - you can use a safe without | |
| having to declare a local variable for it. When you create a component just | |
| pass the 'safe' component as the owner to the constructor. When the | |
| execution of the code reaches the 'end' of the 'with' statement the reference | |
| count of IObjectSafe will hit 0, the destructor of TObjectSafe will be called | |
| and all the components and objects it owns will be freed. So now you have | |
| the best of both worlds - you can create an object when you need it, be sure | |
| it will be automaticaly destroyed and know exactly when it will happen.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| The 'New'/'Dispose' methods of IObjectSafe use the 'untyped' | |
| pointer type to return a reference to an object - this will cause | |
| exception if you mismatch the types of the reference and the actual | |
| object created (there won't be a memory leak though), but it is flexible | |
| and shorter to type. If you want to play it safe use the 'Guard' function | |
| instead.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| You can also create one IObjectSafe in the constructor | |
| of a complex object which uses a lot of internal objects so you don't | |
| need to explicitly free them in the destructor.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| Take a look at the implementation of the AddObject 'procedure' | |
| inside TObjectSafe. This is a method pointer technique you can use | |
| when you need to do one operation most of the time - add an object | |
| at the end of the array - and some other operation rarely - put an object | |
| into an empty slot - and you don't want to check each time which one | |
| of them to perform.<br> | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>THE EXCEPTION SAFE</h3> | |
| <p>Another useful safe used in the implementation of TObjectSafe is IExceptionSafe. | |
| Many times you need to perform an action over many objects but sometimes | |
| you can get an exception. The usual practice is to write something | |
| like :</p> | |
| <pre class="sourcecode"><code><br><b>for</b> aIndex := 1 <b>to</b> 10 <b>do</b><br><b>try</b><br> <font color="#003399"><i>// do something which might raise an exception</i></font><br><b>except</b><br><b>end</b>;<br><br></code></pre> | |
| <p>and ignore the exceptions, but it's better to remember the exception | |
| messages and show them later.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| That's what IExceptionSafe is used for. It has only one procedure | |
| 'SaveException' without parameters - it uses the system function 'ExceptObject' | |
| to get a pointer to the current exception. Create a new ExceptionSafe | |
| interface at the start of the block where you want to remember the exceptions | |
| and when the execution reaches the end of the 'with' statement the destructor | |
| of TExcetionSafe checks if there were any exceptions remembered and raises | |
| a new exception with all of the exception messages :<br> | |
| </p> | |
| <pre class="sourcecode"><code><br><b>with</b> ExceptionSafe <b>do</b><br><b>try</b><br> <b>for</b> aIndex := 1 <b>to</b> 10 <b>do</b><br> <b>try</b><br> <font color="#330099"><i>// do something which might raise an exception</i></font><br> <b>except</b><br> SaveException; <br> <b>end</b>;<br><br> <b>for</b> aIndex := 10 <b>to</b> 20 <b>do<br> try</b><br> </code><code><font color="#330099"><i>// do something which might raise an exception</i></font></code><br><code> <b>except</b><br> SaveException; <br> <b>end</b>;<br><br> </code><code><font color="#330099"><i>// do something which might raise an exception</i></font></code><br><code><b>except</b><br> SaveException;<br><b>end</b>;<br><br></code></pre> | |
| <h3>THE 'IsAs' OPERATOR</h3> | |
| <p>Often you need to check the type of some object and typecast it to a | |
| reference using the 'is' and 'as' operators, like this :</p> | |
| <pre class="sourcecode"><code><br><b>if</b> aSomeObject <b>is</b> TMyObject <b>then</b><br><b>begin</b><br> aMyObject := aSomeObject <b>as</b> TMyObject;<br><br> <font color="#330099"><i>// do something with aMyObject</i></font><br><b>end</b>;<br><br></code></pre> | |
| <p>With the 'IsAs' function you can accomplish all this in just one line | |
| : </p> | |
| <pre class="sourcecode"><code><br><b>if</b> IsAs (aMyObject, aSomeObject, TMyObject) <b>then<br>begin</b><br> <font color="#330099"><i>// do something with aMyObject</i></font><br><b>end</b>;<br><br></code></pre> | |
| <p>As you can see 'untyped' pointer types can be quite handy.</p> | |
| <h3>CONCLUSION</h3> | |
| <p>By using the presented techniques you can greatly simplify the memory | |
| management of Delphi objects/components and make your programs safer.<br> | |
