Efl.Object.allow_parent_unref

Description

Allow an object to be deleted by unref even if it has a parent.

This simply hides the error message warning that an object being destroyed still has a parent. This property is false by default.

In a normal object use case, when ownership of an object is given to a caller, said ownership should be released with efl_unref(). If the object has a parent, this will print error messages, as efl_unref() is stealing the ref from the parent.

Use this function very carefully, unless you're absolutely sure of what you are doing.

Since 1.22
