Detailed Description

Base class for reference counted objects.

Typically this should be used with an intrusive pointer, instead of calling Reference() and Unreference() methods directly.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Dali::RefObject::RefObject ( ) [protected]

Default constructor.

virtual Dali::RefObject::~RefObject ( ) [protected, virtual]

RefObject is intended as a base class.

A RefObject may only be deleted when its reference count is zero.

Dali::RefObject::RefObject ( const RefObject & rhs ) [protected]

Copy constructor.

The newly copied object will have a reference count of zero.

Parameters:

[in] rhs The object to copy

RefObject& Dali::RefObject::operator= ( const RefObject & rhs ) [protected]

Assignment operator.

The newly copied object will have a reference count of zero.

Parameters:

[in] rhs The object to copy

void Dali::RefObject::Reference ( )

Increments the object's reference count.

uint32_t Dali::RefObject::ReferenceCount ( )

Retrieves the object's reference count.

void Dali::RefObject::Unreference ( )

Decrements the object's reference count.

When the reference count drops to zero, the object will self-destruct.
