Detailed Description

The reference counted pointer class used with SharedPtr.

The RefCounted class is used in conjunction with SharedPtr to implement reference counting and automatic deletion for user classes. Derive any other class from this one to add the reference counting methods. Objects of this class delete themselves when the reference count reaches zero.

Member Function Documentation

RefCount()

eC_Int NSmartPtr::RefCounted::RefCount ( ) const

inline

Get the current reference count.

Returns

The current reference count for this object.

Note

In a multithreaded environment this method should be used with care, because the reference count may change at any time.

Release()

void NSmartPtr::RefCounted::Release ( )

inline

Decrease reference count.

Note

pointee is deleted if the reference count is zero.

Unique()

bool NSmartPtr::RefCounted::Unique ( ) const

inline

Check whether this instance is referenced once.

Returns

True if instance is referenced once, False if multiple references to this instance exist.

Note

In a multithreaded environment this method should be used with care, because the reference count may change at any time.
