Thanks, Michael. My understanding is that close also calls decRef. So if I never call incRef, I also can call decRef one time, the decRef actually close the reader since the ref counter is decreased to 0.
So if we call incRef n times, can I call decRef n+1 times to close the reader without call close, since I don't know when the ref counter is 1? 2013/6/2 Michael McCandless <luc...@mikemccandless.com> > Only call decRef if you previously called incRef.
