# Object lifetimes

Know them.

One of the more annoying parts of libui is that it has to juggle an OS control handle and at least one C data structure for a single uiControl, uiParent, uiWindow, etc. To that end, this document exists to lay the ground rules for object lifetimes.

## Implementation

|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that control implementations generally don't need to worry about backend-specific information; these are handled by the backends's convenience functions. If you bypass those, however, you *will* need to worry.
