* QObject Reference Counts Terminology | ||
* ------------------------------------ | ||
* | ||
* - Returning references: A function that returns an object may | ||
* return it as either a weak or a strong reference. If the reference | ||
* is strong, you are responsible for calling QDECREF() on the reference | ||
* when you are done. | ||
* | ||
* If the reference is weak, the owner of the reference may free it at | ||
* any time in the future. Before storing the reference anywhere, you | ||
* should call QINCREF() to make the reference strong. | ||
* | ||
* - Transferring ownership: when you transfer ownership of a reference | ||
* by calling a function, you are no longer responsible for calling | ||
* QDECREF() when the reference is no longer needed. In other words, | ||
* when the function returns you must behave as if the reference to the | ||
* passed object was weak. | ||
