Once you receive the registry pointer you can use it to acquire references to other services your plugin might be interested in. @note This is to be considered an "expensive" operation because it requires access to the global structures of the @ref PAGE_COMPONENTS_REGISTRY. Avoid using it in situations where fast and scalable execution is required. Since the registry service is very unlikely to change often holding on to the reference to it for extended time periods is a safe bet. @note Achieveing scalability through preserving references does not come for free. These are some of the effects on code that caches active references: - components implementing services to which active references are held cannot be unloaded. - code keeping an active reference to e.g. a default service implementation will not switch to a possible new default service implementation installed by a component loaded in the meanwhile, as taking the updated default service implementation would only happen at the time of acquiring a new reference. @return the registry pointer See also: @ref PAGE_COMPONENTS, @ref PAGE_COMPONENTS_REGISTRY, @ref mysql_plugin_registry_acquire(), @ref mysql_plugin_registry_release() */ SERVICE_TYPE(registry) * (*mysql_plugin_registry_acquire_func)(); /** Release a pointer to the registry service Releases the reference to the registry service, as returned by @ref mysql_plugin_registry_acquire().
