// This file defines the RefCountedBase, ThreadSafeRefCountedBase, and
// IntrusiveRefCntPtr classes.
//
// IntrusiveRefCntPtr is a smart pointer to an object which maintains a
// reference count.  (ThreadSafe)RefCountedBase is a mixin class that adds a
// refcount member variable and methods for updating the refcount.  An object
// that inherits from (ThreadSafe)RefCountedBase deletes itself when its
// refcount hits zero.
//
// For example:
//
//   class MyClass : public RefCountedBase<MyClass> {};
//
//   void foo() {
//     // Constructing an IntrusiveRefCntPtr increases the pointee's refcount by
//     // 1 (from 0 in this case).
//     IntrusiveRefCntPtr<MyClass> Ptr1(new MyClass());
//
//     // Copying an IntrusiveRefCntPtr increases the pointee's refcount by 1.
//     IntrusiveRefCntPtr<MyClass> Ptr2(Ptr1);
//
//     // Constructing an IntrusiveRefCntPtr has no effect on the object's
//     // refcount.  After a move, the moved-from pointer is null.
//     IntrusiveRefCntPtr<MyClass> Ptr3(std::move(Ptr1));
//     assert(Ptr1 == nullptr);
//
//     // Clearing an IntrusiveRefCntPtr decreases the pointee's refcount by 1.
//     Ptr2.reset();
//
//     // The object deletes itself when we return from the function, because
//     // Ptr3's destructor decrements its refcount to 0.
//   }
//
// You can use IntrusiveRefCntPtr with isa<T>(), dyn_cast<T>(), etc.:
//
//   IntrusiveRefCntPtr<MyClass> Ptr(new MyClass());
//   OtherClass *Other = dyn_cast<OtherClass>(Ptr);  // Ptr.get() not required
//
// IntrusiveRefCntPtr works with any class that
//
//  - inherits from (ThreadSafe)RefCountedBase,
//  - has Retain() and Release() methods, or
//  - specializes IntrusiveRefCntPtrInfo.
