Object Life Cycle {#life-cycle}

This section explains how a type's slots relate to each other throughout the life of an object. It is not intended to be a complete canonical reference for the slots; instead, refer to the slot-specific documentation in type-structs{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details about a particular slot.
