/** \class SkWeakRefCnt
SkWeakRefCnt is the base class for objects that may be shared by multiple
objects. When an existing strong owner wants to share a reference, it calls
ref(). When a strong owner wants to release its reference, it calls
unref(). When the shared object's strong reference count goes to zero as
the result of an unref() call, its (virtual) weak_dispose method is called.
It is an error for the destructor to be called explicitly (or via the
object going out of scope on the stack or calling delete) if
getRefCnt() > 1.
In addition to strong ownership, an owner may instead obtain a weak
reference by calling weak_ref(). A call to weak_ref() must be balanced my a
call to weak_unref(). To obtain a strong reference from a weak reference,
call try_ref(). If try_ref() returns true, the owner's pointer is now also
a strong reference on which unref() must be called. Note that this does not
affect the original weak reference, weak_unref() must still be called. When
the weak reference count goes to zero, the object is deleted. While the
weak reference count is positive and the strong reference count is zero the
object still exists, but will be in the disposed state. It is up to the
object to define what this means.
Note that a strong reference implicitly implies a weak reference. As a
result, it is allowable for the owner of a strong ref to call try_ref().
This will have the same effect as calling ref(), but may be more expensive.
Example:
SkWeakRefCnt myRef = strongRef.weak_ref();
... // strongRef.unref() may or may not be called
if (myRef.try_ref()) {
... // use myRef
myRef.unref();
} else {
// myRef is in the disposed state
}
myRef.weak_unref();
