// Originally these classes are from Chromium.
// http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/base/memory/ref_counted.h?view=markup
//
// A smart pointer class for reference counted objects. Use this class instead
// of calling AddRef and Release manually on a reference counted object to
// avoid common memory leaks caused by forgetting to Release an object
// reference. Sample usage:
//
// class MyFoo : public RefCounted<MyFoo> {
// ...
// };
//
// void some_function() {
// scoped_refptr<MyFoo> foo = new MyFoo();
// foo->Method(param);
// // |foo| is released when this function returns
// }
//
// void some_other_function() {
// scoped_refptr<MyFoo> foo = new MyFoo();
// ...
// foo = NULL; // explicitly releases |foo|
// ...
// if (foo)
// foo->Method(param);
// }
//
// The above examples show how scoped_refptr<T> acts like a pointer to T.
// Given two scoped_refptr<T> classes, it is also possible to exchange
// references between the two objects, like so:
//
// {
// scoped_refptr<MyFoo> a = new MyFoo();
// scoped_refptr<MyFoo> b;
//
// b.swap(a);
// // now, |b| references the MyFoo object, and |a| references NULL.
// }
//
// To make both |a| and |b| in the above example reference the same MyFoo
// object, simply use the assignment operator:
//
// {
// scoped_refptr<MyFoo> a = new MyFoo();
// scoped_refptr<MyFoo> b;
//
// b = a;
// // now, |a| and |b| each own a reference to the same MyFoo object.
// }
