Abstract

Enabling secure and efficient marshaling, utilization, and releasing of handles in either of an operating system or runtime environment includes wrapping a handle with a counter to tabulate a number of threads using currently using the handle. Thus, handle administration is implemented to circumvent potential security risks, avoid correctness problems, and foster more efficient handle releasing.
