53  * @class OSSymbol
54  *
55  * @abstract
56  * OSSymbol wraps a C string in a unique C++ object
57  * for use as keys in Libkern collections.
58  *
59  * @discussion
60  * OSSymbol is a container class for managing uniqued strings,
61  * for example, those used as dictionary keys.
62  * Its static instance-creation functions check
63  * for an existing instance of OSSymbol
64  * with the requested C string value before creating a new object.
65  * If an instance already exists in the pool of unique symbols,
66  * its reference count is incremented
67  * and the existing instance is returned.
68  *
69  * While OSSymbol provides for uniquing of a given string value,
70  * it makes no effort to enforce immutability of that value.
71  * Altering the contents of an OSSymbol should be avoided.
72  *
73  * <b>Use Restrictions</b>
74  *
75  * With very few exceptions in the I/O Kit, all Libkern-based C++
76  * classes, functions, and macros are <b>unsafe</b>
77  * to use in a primary interrupt context.
78  * Consult the I/O Kit documentation related to primary interrupts
79  * for more information.
80  *
81  * OSSymbol provides no concurrency protection;
82  * it's up to the usage context to provide any protection necessary.
83  * Some portions of the I/O Kit, such as
84  * @link //apple_ref/doc/class/IORegistryEntry IORegistryEntry@/link,
85  * handle synchronization via defined member functions for setting
86  * properties.
