Well, I am befuddled. I explained the model and it seems obvious to me how you'd go about it, the only nontrivial corner being coping with the MT exec reap case. But I won't let our mutual befuddlement stand in the way of making immediate progress the way you like best. > Agreed, but nobody else cares ;) Ananth, Srikar, Jim, Frank? (Beuller?) We do have some people around here with some experience dealing with the API. They made me add the engine ref counts in the first place, for Pete's sake. They've got to have some opinions! > So, I am going to use the simple ops->release method for now. Once we > have the working code we can reconsider the lifetime rules for engine/ > engine->data. Agreed. Thanks, Roland
