//Some constructors take an additional param telling
//if the memory space referenced by the pointer or Handle
//is going to be copied (deep) or just the reference to existing memory block is stored (shallow)

typedef enum {

//Ownership type. Could have been Boolean but it is better if it is enum:

typedef enum {

	kMemObj_Owned

//Additional parameter for constructors which allocate memory:

typedef enum {
	kMemObj_DontClearMemory, //default in most cases
	kMemObj_ClearMemory	//zero memory on allocation
} EMemObjClearOption;
