Sleak::SharedControlBlock Struct Reference

#include <RefPtr.hpp>

Public Member Functions
	SharedControlBlock ()

Public Attributes
std::atomic< size_t >	refCount
	Number of RefPtr instances currently owning the object.

Detailed Description

Reference count shared by every RefPtr aimed at one object.

Allocated separately from the object, and non-templated so that a RefPtr<Base> converted from a RefPtr<Derived> shares the same count. The counter is atomic, so copying and destroying RefPtrs across threads is safe; the pointed-to object still needs its own synchronization.
