Detailed Description

template<class T>
class OPTPP::SmartPtr< T >

Howard Hinnant's reference counting handle class.

This is to be used as a pointer to class T. This will feel and smell just like a built-in pointer except: 1. There is no need to call delete on the pointer. 2. The default copy constructor and assignment implement ref-counting. 3. The user may call isNonUnique to determine if this pointer is the only pointer to the data. This can be used to hide the ref-counting behavior of a class. 4. Checks for dereference of a null pointer.
