/*! \file isc/ondestroy.h
 * ondestroy handling.
 *
 * Any class ``X'' of objects that wants to send out notifications
 * on its destruction should declare a field of type isc_ondestroy_t
 * (call it 'ondest').
 *
 * \code
 *      typedef struct {
 *              ...
 *              isc_ondestroy_t ondest;
 *              ...
 *      } X;
 * \endcode
 *
 * When an object ``A'' of type X is created
 * it must initialize the field ondest with a call to
 *
 * \code
 *      isc_ondestroy_init(&A->ondest).
 * \endcode
 *
 * X should also provide a registration function for third-party
 * objects to call to register their interest in being told about
 * the destruction of a particular instance of X.
 *
 * \code
 *      isc_result_t
 *      X_ondestroy(X *instance, isc_task_t *task,
 *                   isc_event_t **eventp) {
 *              return(isc_ondestroy_register(&instance->ondest, task,eventp));
 *      }
 * \endcode
 *
 *      Note: locking of the ondestory structure embedded inside of X, is
 *      X's responsibility.
 *
 * When an instance of X is destroyed, a call to  isc_ondestroy_notify()
 * sends the notifications:
 *
 * \code
 *      X *instance;
 *      isc_ondestroy_t ondest = instance->ondest;
 *
 *      ... completely cleanup 'instance' here...
 *
 *      isc_ondestroy_notify(&ondest, instance);
 * \endcode
 *
 *
 * see lib/dns/zone.c for an ifdef'd-out example.
