//   This is the main include file for the reference counting classes.
// This includes two other files: reftmpl.h and refmacr.h.  The
// former is a template declaration for the reference counted classes
// and the latter is generated from the former by a perl script and
// provides CPP macros that declare reference counting classes.
//
//   The behaviour of the package can be modified with the following five
// macros, each of which should be undefined, 0, or 1:
//
// REF_CHECK_STACK:  If this is 1 referenced objects are checked to see if they
// reside on the stack, in which case storage for the object is not managed,
// if management is enabled.  This feature can be confused by multiple threads
// and memory checking libraries.
//
// REF_MANAGE:  If this is 1 the manage and unmanage members are enabled.
//
// REF_CHECK_MAX_NREF:  If this is 1 the reference count is checked before
// it is incremented to make sure it isn't too big.
//
// REF_CHECK_MIN_NREF:  If this is 1 the reference count is checked before
// it is decremented to make sure it isn't already zero.
//
// REF_USE_LOCKS:  If this is 1 then critical regions are locked before they
// are entered.  This prevents erroneous behavior when multiple threads
// share reference counted objects.  This will slow down certain operations,
// so it should be set to 0 if your application does not need to be thread
// safe.
//
// If a macro is undefined, then the behaviour is architecture
// dependent--usually, the macro will be set to 1 in this case.
// For maximum efficiency and for normal operation after the program is
// debugged, compile with all of the above macros defined to zero.
// This can also be done with -DREF_OPTIMIZE.
//
//   An include file can be used to set these options as well.  This has
// the advantage that dependency checking will force an automatic
// recompile of all affected files if the options change.  The file
// <scconfig.h> will be include if -DHAVE_CONFIG_H is specified.
//
//   Note that all source code that uses references must be compiled with
// the same value REF_MANAGE.  Changing this can change the storage layout
// and the interpretation of the reference count data.

/** The base class for all reference counted objects.  If multiple
    inheritance is used, RefCount must be virtually inherited from,
    otherwise references to invalid memory will likely result.

    Reference counting information is usually maintained by smart
    pointer classes Ref, however this mechanism can be
    supplemented or replaced by directly using the public
    interface to RefCount.

    The unmanage() member is only needed for special cases where memory
    management must be turned off.  For example, if a reference counted
    object is created on the stack, memory management mechanisms based on
    reference counting must be prohibited from deleting it.  The unmanage()
    member accomplishes this, but a better solution would be to allocate
    the object on the heap with new and let a smart pointer manage the
    memory for the object.

    When using a debugger to look at reference counted objects the count is
    maintained in the _reference_count_ member.  However, this member is
    encoded so that memory overwrites can be sometimes detected.  Thus,
    interpretation of _reference_count_ is not always straightforward.
