Hello..


I have just updated my scalable reference counting with efficient
support for weak references to version 1.3

I have just added a TAMInterfacedPersistent that is a scalable reference
counted version, and now i think i have just made it complete and powerful.

Because I have just read the following web page:

https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1252175/Fixing-Delphis-Interface-Limitations

But i don't agree with the writting of the guy of the above web page,
because i think you have to understand the "spirit" of Delphi, here is why:

A component is supposed to be owned and destroyed by something else,
"typically" a form (and "typically" means in english: in "most" cases,
and this is the most important thing to understand). In that scenario,
reference count is not used.If you pass a component as an interface
reference, it would be very unfortunate if it was destroyed when the
method returns. Therefore, reference counting in TComponent has been
removed.

Also because i have just added TAMInterfacedPersistent to my invention.

To use scalable reference counting with Delphi and FreePascal, just
replace TInterfacedObject with my TAMInterfacedObject that is the
scalable reference counted version, and just replace
TInterfacedPersistent with my TAMInterfacedPersistent that is the
scalable reference counted version, and you will find both my
TAMInterfacedObject and my TAMInterfacedPersistent inside the
AMInterfacedObject.pas file, and to know how to use weak references
please take a look at the demo that i have included called example.dpr
and look inside my zip file at the tutorial about weak references, and
to know how to use delegation take a look at the demo that i have
included called test_delegation.pas, and take a look inside my zip file
at the tutorial about delegation that learns you how to use delegation.

And please read the readme file inside the zip file that i have just
extended to make you understand more.

You can download my new scalable reference counting with efficient
support for weak references version 1.3 from:
