Re: Reference counting in modules (UPDATE)

[Robert M. <eg...@ce...>]

Clever trick.  But it is not quite what I wanted.  I would rather
have a module keep track of it's own reference count instead of
each module referencing it to add a reference.

I do not think it is currently possible within modules for a module
to keep track of it's own reference count.  The only way I think
it would be possible is to add two new commands to modules to reference
and unreference a module.  The reference command would load a module if
it was not already loaded otherwise add a reference to the currently
loaded version.  The unreference command would subtract a reference
from the currently loaded version and if the reference count goes to 0
remove it.

Right now I'm using your trick.
