[platform-dev] reference counting for native resources

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I am working on some performance issues with TextLayout (may fix part of  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168557 - at least on Windows)

One of the performance issues is that we make copies of large buffers over and over again when a little bit of pointer arithmetic + sharing buffers improves the situation.

Are there any examples in SWT already of reference counting of native resources?

Bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=577649 is for tracking this specific part of the work.

Thanks

Jonah
