require "delegate"

# WeakRef is a class to represent a reference to an object that is not seen by
# the tracing phase of the garbage collector.  This allows the referenced
# object to be garbage collected as if nothing is referring to it. Because
# WeakRef delegates method calls to the referenced object, it may be used in
# place of that object, i.e. it is of the same duck type.
#
# Usage:
#
#   foo = Object.new
#   foo = Object.new
#   p foo.to_s			# original's class
#   foo = WeakRef.new(foo)
#   p foo.to_s			# should be same class
#   ObjectSpace.garbage_collect
#   p foo.to_s			# should raise exception (recycled)
class WeakRef<Delegator

  # RefError is raised if an object cannot be referenced by a WeakRef.
  class RefError<StandardError
