// 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.
//   }
