Class EscapingValueMemoryManagement

java.lang.Object

org.ek9lang.compiler.phase7.support.EscapingValueMemoryManagement

All Implemented Interfaces:

BiFunction<Supplier<List<IRInstr>>, VariableDetails, List<IRInstr>>

public final class EscapingValueMemoryManagement
extends Object
implements BiFunction<Supplier<List<IRInstr>>, VariableDetails, List<IRInstr>>

Memory management for values that are ESCAPING their current scope.

This implements the PRODUCER side of the ARC ownership transfer pattern:

• RETAIN the value (increment refcount so it survives scope exit)
• NO SCOPE_REGISTER (value is leaving this scope, not owned by it)

Use this for:

• Coalescing operator RHS evaluation (value escapes chain scope)
• Ternary operator branch results (value escapes branch scope)
• Return values from functions (value escapes to caller)

The CONSUMER of the escaping value should use ScopeRegisterOnly to take ownership without an additional RETAIN, maintaining balanced refcounts.
