Lost the initial message, but as I recall the "consensus" was: - reference managing calls for refcounts that need a lock - do it by hand for structures that are protected by a mutex Might I suggest* that an API for the second set of calls would still be useful? They might be a bunch of trivial macros, but having explicit refcounting "calls" are: easier to find; document the use better (it's a refcount, but we hold a mutex on it already); easier to instrument if required.
