Detailed Description

template<class T>
class CSIRO::Application::RefCountedPtr< T >

This class differs from RefCountedObjectPtr in that it does not require that T is derived from RefCountedObject. Instead, RefCountedPtr uses its own proxy class to take care of this.

Based on Item 29 in "More Effective C++", Scott Meyers.

T & operator* ( ) const

inline

Returns

A reference to the underlying object.

operator->()

T * operator-> ( ) const

inline

Returns

A pointer to the underlying object.
