//
// MODULE: POINTER.H
//
// PURPOSE: Smart pointer that counts references, deletes object when no more references
//
// PROJECT: Generic Troubleshooter DLL for Microsoft AnswerPoint
//
// COMPANY: Saltmine Creative, Inc. (206)-284-7511 support@saltmine.com
//
// AUTHOR: Joe Mabel
//
// ORIGINAL DATE: 9-8-98
//
// NOTES:
// 1. Because these are templates, all code is in the header file.
// 2. counting_ptr is intended to be used as part of a "publishing system":
// A "publisher" creates a counting_ptr P to a heap object X. "Clients" obtain access to X
// by copying P or assigning a counting_ptr to be equal to P.
// Write/copy/delete access to P should be under control of a mutex. A single mutex may
// control access to multiple published objects.
// The publisher terminates the publication of *P by deleting or reassigning P. Once no client
// is using *P, *P should go away.
// class X is expected to be an actual class. If it is (say) an int, this will give
// warning C4284, because it makes no sense to use operator-> on an int.
