"Finalize tree" to break XPCOM cycles and have clean shutdowns

We would like to have clean shutdowns of an XMLterm, since we are using
|
|
external resources, e.g., a shell process or an rlogin process. However, the
|
|
XPCOM reference counting can hinder shutdowns, if there cycles. To avoid
|
|
that, the XMLterm interfaces have a Finalize or Close method. A shutdown
|
|
event triggers a call to the Finalize method of the root interface in the
|
|
"Finalize tree". When the Finalize method of any interface is called, it
|
|
first calls the Finalize methods of any child nodes in the Finalize tree, then
|
|
releases all the XPCOM references it owns, de-initializes itself and quietly
|
|
waits for its reference count to go to zero. In this "closed" state of the
|
|
interface, any attempts use it result in an error return.
|
|
|
|
The destructor of an object simply checks if all its interfaces have been
|
|
finalized, and calls the Finalize methods for any that have not been.
