Review request for Asterisk Developers, George Joseph and rmudgett.


Changes
-------

Addressed findings.

Moved AO2_DEBUG section next to the other atomic increments.


Bugs: ASTERISK-24936
    https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24936


Repository: Asterisk


Description
-------

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.


Diffs (updated)
-----

  /trunk/tests/test_astobj2_weaken.c PRE-CREATION 
  /trunk/main/astobj2.c 434545 
  /trunk/include/asterisk/astobj2.h 434545 

Diff: https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/4108/diff/


Testing
-------

Ran the included test with REF_DEBUG enabled under valgrind.  No reference leaks or improper memory access.  Though this does not test for races, I don't know of an automated way to do that.


Thanks,

Corey Farrell
