Method Documentation

- (id) asWeakReference

Returns this object wrapped in a weak reference.

You can retrieve this original object by invoking the resolveWeakReference on the returned object.

This method is useful when you want to add this object to a collection, but don't want to create a strong reference to it within the collection, or in any other situation where you want to assign this object to a strong reference, but need to avoid a potential retain cycle.

This implementation creates and returns an NSValue, with this object set as its nonretainedObjectValue.

- (NSString*) fullDescription

Returns a string containing a more complete description of this object.

This implementation simply invokes the description method. Subclasses with more substantial content can override to provide much more information.

Reimplemented in CC3ShaderProgram, CC3Identifiable, and <CC3ParticleProtocol>.

- (id) resolveWeakReference

When invoked on the object returned by the asWeakReference method, returns the original object.

When invoked on any other object, simply returns that object.
