Detailed Description

An object with reference counting. Base class for objects with reference counting. When a shared object is ceated, it has reference count == 1. If the the reference count of a shared object reaches zero, the object self-destructs. The default destructor of this object has been made protected on purpose. This disables the creation of shared objects on the stack.
