Examples

The following example prints the number of references for objA to the output window.

static void Object_UsageCount(Args _args) 
{ 
    Object objA = new Object(); 
    Object objB; 
 
    print objA.usageCount();    // Prints 1. 
 
    objB = objA;                // objB is a reference to objA. 
    print objA.usageCount();    // prints 2 
    pause; 
}
