WdfObjectReference macro

[Applies to KMDF and UMDF]

The WdfObjectReference macro increments the reference count for a specified framework object.

Parameters

Handle [in] A handle to a framework object.

Return value

None.

A bug check occurs if the driver supplies an invalid object handle.

Remarks

If your driver calls WdfObjectReference to increment a reference count, the driver must call WdfObjectDereference to decrement the count.

Instead of calling WdfObjectReference, a driver can call WdfObjectReferenceWithTag or WdfObjectReferenceActual.

For more information about object reference counts, see Framework Object Life Cycle.

Examples

The following code example increments an object's reference count.

WdfObjectReference(Object);
