44 
45 // <synopsis>
46 // This class implements a reference counting mechanism. It
47 // allows <src>CountedPtr</src>s to be passed around freely,
48 // incrementing or decrementing the reference count as needed when one
49 // <src>CountedPtr</src> is assigned to another. When the
50 // reference count reaches zero the internal storage is deleted by
51 // default, but this behavior can be overridden.
52 //
53 // Internally the class uses std::shared_ptr to be thread-safe. Note that
54 // tr1 is used if the compiler does not support C++11 yet.
