 * @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.
 * @{
