///
/// How objects' lifetime is handled in libabigail.
///
/// For memory management and garbage collection of libabigail's IR
/// artifacts, we use std::tr1::shared_ptr and std::tr1::weak_ptr.
///
/// When manipulating these IR artifacts, there are a few rules to keep in
/// mind.
///
/// <b>The declaration for a type is owned by only one scope </b>
///
/// This means that for each instance of abigail::type_base (a type) there
/// is an instance of abigail::scope_decl that owns a @ref
/// abigail::decl_base_sptr (a shared pointer to an abigail::decl_base)
/// that points to the declaration of that type.  The
/// abigail::type_base_sptr is added to the scope using the function
/// abigail::add_decl_to_scope().
///
/// There is a kind of type that is usually not syntactically owned by
/// a scope: it's function type.  In libabigail, function types are
/// represented by abigail::function_type and abigail::method_type.
/// These types must be owned by the translation unit they originate
/// from.  Adding them to the translation unit must be done by a call
/// to the method function
/// abigail::translation::bind_function_type_life_time().
///
/// <b> A declaration that has a type does NOT own the type </b>
///
/// This means that, for instance, in an abigail::var_decl (a variable
/// declaration), the type of the declaration is not owned by the
/// declaration.  In other (concrete) words, the variable declaration
/// doesn't have a shared pointer to the type.  Rather, it has a *weak*
/// pointer to its type.  That means that it has a data member of type
/// abigail::type_base_wptr that contains the type of the declaration.
///
/// But then abigail::var_decl::get_type() returns a shared pointer that
/// is constructed from the internal weak pointer to the type.  That way,
/// users of the type of the var can own a temporary reference on it and
/// be assured that the type's life time is long enough for their need.
///
/// Likewise, data members, function and template parameters similarly
/// have weak pointers on their type.
///
/// If, for a reason, you really need to keep a type alive for the
/// entire lifetime of the type system, then you can bind the life
/// time of that type to the life time of the @ref environment that is
/// supposed to outlive the type system.  You do that by passing the
/// type to the function environment::keep_type_alive().
///
