Method set_weak_flag()

Method set_weak_flag

array|mapping|multiset set_weak_flag(array|mapping|multiset m, int state)

Description

Set the value m to use weak or normal references in its indices and/or values (whatever is applicable). state is a bitfield built by using | between the following flags:

Pike.WEAK_INDICES	Use weak references for indices. Only applicable for multisets and mappings.
Pike.WEAK_VALUES	Use weak references for values. Only applicable for arrays and mappings.
Pike.WEAK	Shorthand for Pike.WEAK_INDICES|Pike.WEAK_VALUES.

If a flag is absent, the corresponding field will use normal references. state can also be 1 as a compatibility measure; it's treated like Pike.WEAK.

Returns

m will be returned.
