"""Base notmuch object syntax.
This base class exists to define the memory management handling
required to use the notmuch library. It is meant as an interface
definition rather than a base class, though you can use it as a
base class to ensure you don't forget part of the interface. It
only concerns you if you are implementing this package itself
rather then using it.
libnotmuch uses a hierarchical memory allocator, where freeing the
memory of a parent object also frees the memory of all child
objects. To make this work seamlessly in Python this package
keeps references to parent objects which makes them stay alive
correctly under normal circumstances. When an object finally gets
deleted the :meth:`__del__` method will be called to free the
memory.
However during some peculiar situations, e.g. interpreter
shutdown, it is possible for the :meth:`__del__` method to have
been called, whele there are still references to an object. This
could result in child objects asking their memory to be freed
after the parent has already freed the memory, making things
rather unhappy as double frees are not taken lightly in C. To
handle this case all objects need to follow the same protocol to
destroy themselves, see :meth:`destroy`.
Once an object has been destroyed trying to use it should raise
the :exc:`ObjectDestroyedError` exception. For this see also the
convenience :class:`MemoryPointer` descriptor in this module which
can be used as a pointer to libnotmuch memory.
