Actor Framework Discussions
Accessing a launched object in Actor Framework
Solved!
First I think bypassing the Enqueuer is a bad idea,
However
You talk about inheritance and having a parent class. Couldn't you just have a private FGV counter in the parent class? It would be shared by all Actors that inherit from that class. It could increment in Actor Core before the call parent method and the decrement afterwards.
Simple. Doesn't break the communication path.
Just continuing the thought experiment...
That might work but then you limit things so that your messaging/launching tree needs to exactly mirror your inheritance hierarchy which, in most cases, probably isn't desirable.
