+ * @brief ChibiOS objects factory and registry code.
+ *
+ * @addtogroup oslib_objects_factory
+ * @details The object factory is a subsystem that allows to:
+ * - Register static objects by name.
+ * - Dynamically create objects and assign them a name.
+ * - Retrieve existing objects by name.
+ * - Free objects by reference.
+ * .
+ * Allocated OS objects are handled using a reference counter, only
+ * when all references have been released then the object memory is
+ * freed in a pool.<br>
+ * @pre This subsystem requires the @p CH_CFG_USE_MEMCORE and
+ * @p CH_CFG_USE_MEMPOOLS options to be set to @p TRUE. The
+ * option @p CH_CFG_USE_HEAP is also required if the support
+ * for variable length objects is enabled.
+ * @note Compatible with RT and NIL.
