/**
 * belle_sip_object_t is the base object.
 * It is the base class for all belle sip non trivial objects.
 * It owns a reference count which allows to trigger the destruction of the object when the last
 * user of it calls belle_sip_object_unref().
 *
 * It contains a generic data store that allows users to store named data in it and retrieve them afterwards.
 *
 * About object lifecycle<br>
 * In belle-sip, objects can be, depending on their types, initially owned, meaning that they are created with a ref count of 1, or
 * initially unowned, meaning that they are created with reference count of 0. Such objets are also referred as "floating object". They are automatically destroyed
 * by the main loop iteration, so a floating object can be seen as a temporary object, until someones calls belle_sip_object_ref() on it.
 *
 * In order to know whether a kind of object is initially owned or initially unowned, you can use the test program tester/belle_sip_object_describe.
 * This tool gives the hierarchy and properties of the object type whose name is supplied in argument. For example:
 *
 * <pre>./tester/belle_sip_object_describe belle_sip_request_t</pre>
 *
 * The object memory management depends slightly on whether an object type is created initially owned or not.
 * In order not to be lost and make memory fault or leaks, consider the following rules:
 *
 * When an object is of type initially unowned:
 * * call belle_sip_object_ref() on it only if you need a pointer to this object to be used outside the scope of the current function.
 * * call belle_sip_object_unref() on it only if you previously called belle_sip_object_ref().
 *
 * When an object is of type initially owned:
 * * you can safely store its pointer.
 * * use belle_sip_object_unref() when you no longer need it.
 *
 * Also, keep in mind that most objects of belle-sip are initially unowned, especially
 * * all objects who are usually required to be used inside another object (for example: an URI is part of a from header, a contact header is part of a message)
 * * all objects whose lifecyle is maintained by the stack: transactions, dialogs.
 *
 * On the contrary, top level objects whose lifecyle belongs only to the application are initially owned:
 * * belle_sip_provider_t, belle_sip_stack_t, belle_sip_source_t.
 *
 * Internally, belle-sip objects containing pointers to other objects must take a reference count on the other objects they hold; and leave this reference
 * when they no longer need it. This rule must be strictly followed by developers doing things inside belle-sip.
