    Only if the code actually follows the rules. :)

    Rather than play games with the real object's ref count.  How about replacing the indicated code with this:
    ----------
    /* Unlink the obj from the weak proxy */
    internal_weakproxy->priv_data.weakptr = NULL;
    obj->priv_data.weakptr = NULL;
    
    /* Notify the subscribers that obj is about to die. */
    weakproxy_run_callbacks(weakproxy);
    
    /*
     * Weak is already unlinked from obj so this won't recurse.
     * This will destroy obj.
     */
    ao2_ref(user_data, -1);
    ----------
    
    The test to release the weakproxy ref below needs to be adjusted to:
    if (current_value == 1)
    and that code moved to just after the unlock of weakproxy.

    The comment doesn't make sense.  How is destructor_fn supposed to access values in the weak proxy?  The real object is no longer linked with the weakproxy.

    Heh.  Interesting ability to reuse weakproxy objects.  Not sure how useful it will be.

> This implements "weak" references.  The weakproxy object is a real ao2 with normal reference counting of its own.  When a weakproxy is pointed to a normal object they hold references to each other.  The normal object is automatically freed when a single reference remains (the weakproxy).  The weakproxy also supports subscriptions that will notify callbacks when it does not point to any real object.
