Subject: [PATCH  v3 10/19] docs/devel: document query handle lifetimes
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2020 12:47:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200225124710.14152-11-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200225124710.14152-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

I forgot to document the lifetime of handles in the developer
documentation. Do so now.

+Query Handle Lifetime
+---------------------
+
+Each callback provides an opaque anonymous information handle which
+can usually be further queried to find out information about a
+translation, instruction or operation. The handles themselves are only
+valid during the lifetime of the callback so it is important that any
+information that is needed is extracted during the callback and saved
+by the plugin.
