# taggedRelease(const void *, const int)

Overrides OSObject::taggedRelease(const void *, const int) to synchronize with the symbol pool.

## Declaration

```occ
virtual void taggedRelease( 
 const void *tag, 
 const intfreeWhen) const; 
```

## Parameters

- `tag`: Used for tracking collection references.
- `freeWhen`: If decrementing the reference count makes it >= freeWhen, the object is immediately freed.

## Overview

Overview Because OSSymbol shares instances, the reference-counting functions must synchronize access to the class-internal tables used to track those instances.
