\section{Object class}

\paragraph{Type definitions.}
An object is represented by a pointer to a C structure stored in global
memory.  The content of the structure is private to the implementation.
A {\tt typedef} is provided for each class of object:

/*
\paragraph{Classes and subclasses.} Subclasses are handled as
follows, taking the {\tt Group} class as an example.  The {\tt
DXGetObjectClass()} routine returns the subclass of {\tt Object} ({\tt
CLASS\_GROUP}, for example) so that a user whose operation does not
depend on the specific subclass is not affected.  For each class that
is subclassed, there is a {\tt Get...Class()} routine ({\tt
DXGetGroupClass()}, for example) to determine the subclass.  Objects of
the superclass ({\tt Group}, for example) may still be created and
manipulated using the generic superclass manipulation routines ({\tt
DXNewGroup()} and {\tt DXSetMember()} for example).  In such a case, the
{\tt Get...Class()} routine will return the name of the superclass;
thus, for example, {\tt DXGetGroupClass()} may return {\tt CLASS\_GROUP}
if the object is a generic group, or {\tt CLASS\_COMPOSITEFIELD} etc.
if it is an object of one of the subclasses of the group class.  The
subclass identifiers ({\tt CLASS\_COMPOSITEFIELD etc.}) are in the
same {\tt enum} as the class identifiers ({\tt CLASS\_GROUP}, etc.).

\paragraph{Object routines.}
There are a number of routines common to all objects.  These include
routines for reserving a reference to an object, for deleting an
object, and for saving an object to and restoring it from a file.
*/

Class DXGetObjectClass(Object o);
/**
\index{DXGetObjectClass}
Returns the class of an object, to be interpreted according to the
definitions given above.
**/

Object DXReference(Object o);
/**
\index{DXReference}
Indicates that there is a reference to object {\tt o}.  The object is
guaranteed to not be deleted until this reference is released, via the
{\tt DXDelete} routine.  When an object is first created, it has zero
references.  Returns {\tt o}, or returns null and sets the
error code to indicate an error. 
**/

Error DXDelete(Object o);
/**
\index{DXDelete}
Indicates that a previous reference to object {\tt o} (signified by
{\tt DXReference()}) no longer exists.  When no further references to an
object exist, all storage associated with the object will be deleted.
Returns {\tt OK} to indicate success, or returns {\tt ERROR} and sets
the error code to indicate an error.
**/

/**
\index{DXUnreference}
Special routine -- DXDelete is the normal way to remove a reference to
an object.  If the reference count should be decremented to zero but
the object should NOT be deleted, this routine can be used instead of
DXDelete.

\index{DXGetObjectTag}\index{DXSetObjectTag}
Every object is assigned a unique non-zero integer tag when it is
created.  In addition, the executive sets the object tag of objects it
knows about by using {\tt DXSetObjectTag()}.  This tag is used, for
example, by the cache system to identify objects.  {\tt DXGetObjectTag()}
returns the object identifier, or returns 0 and sets the error code
to indicate an error.

and sets the error code to indicate an error.

For each attribute in {\tt src}, that attribute in {\tt dst} is set to
the value from {\tt src}, overriding any setting it may have in {\tt

\index{DXCopy}
A variety of object copying operations are provided, differing in the
depth to which they copy the structure of an object.  The depth is
specified by the {\tt copy} parameter, which may be one of the
following (at present, only {\tt COPY\_STRUCTURE} is supported):

{\tt COPY\_DATA}: Copies the entire data structure, including all headers,
attributes, members, components, and arrays (including array data).
Note: this is not implemented in the current version of the Data Explorer.
\marginpar{Is this true?}

{\tt COPY\_STRUCTURE}: For {\tt Group}s, this copies the group header and
recursively copies all group members.  For {\tt Field}s, it copies the field
header but {\em does not} copy the components (which are generally arrays); 
rather if puts references to the components of the given
object into the resulting field.

{\tt COPY\_HEADER}: Copies only the header of the immediate object; {\em does 
not} recursively copy the attributes, members, components, and so on; rather 
it puts references to them into the new object.

{\tt COPY\_ATTRIBUTES}: Creates a new object of the same type as the
old, and copies all attributes and type information, but does {\em
not} put references to members, components, and so on in the new object.

Returns the copy, or returns null and sets the error code to indicate an
error.

\paragraph{Types.}
Several object classes implement a notion of type.  For {\tt Array}s,
this is the same as the type set when the array was created, and is
the same as the information returned by {\tt DXGetArrayInfo}.  (See
section \ref{arraysec}.)  For {\tt Field}s, this is the same as the
type of the ``data'' component, if there is a data component.  For 
{\tt Group}s, this is the type set explicitly by {\tt DXSetGroupType()} or 
implicitly for series groups or composite groups,
