Question is LoadObjectAsync reference counted?

Hi!

Looking at Class RuntimeContentManager | Entities | 1.0.16 (unity3d.com), I can't tell if LoadObjectAsync/ReleaseObjectAsync is reference counted or not. E.g. what happens if there's a request to LoadObjectAsync that happens in one thread while ReleaseObjectAsync (for the same Mesh or Material) happens in another thread (i.e. releasing a previous request for the resource)? Will the new LoadObjectAsync fail if it happens to execute just before the ReleaseObjectAsync?

Thank you!

 

Yes they are, directly from 1.0.16 source:

Unity.Entities.Content.WeakObjectReference<TObject>.LoadAsync

Code (CSharp):

1. /// <summary>
2. /// Directs the object to begin loading.  This will increase the reference count for each call to the same id.  Release must be called for each Load call to properly release resources.
3. /// </summary>
4. public void LoadAsync()
5. {
6.     RuntimeContentManager.LoadObjectAsync(Id);
7. }
