Detailed Description

template<class T>
class Arcane::ReferenceCounter< T >

Encapsulation of a pointer with a reference counter.

This class holds a pointer of a type that must implement the following methods:

• addReference() to add a reference
• removeReference() to remove a reference.

Unlike std::shared_ptr, the reference counter is managed internally by the type T. This class performs no action based on the reference counter value. the eventual destruction of the object when the reference counter reaches zero is handled by the object itself.
