<hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<h3>template&lt;class T, class Destroyer = RefCountedPointerDestroyer&lt;T&gt;&gt;<br>
 class mysqlpp::RefCountedPointer&lt; T, Destroyer &gt;</h3>

Creates an object that acts as a reference-counted pointer to another object. 
<p>
Resulting type acts like a pointer in all respects, except that it manages the memory it points to by observing how many users there are for the object.<p>
This attempts to be as automatic as reference counting in a programming language with memory management. Like all automatic memory management schemes, it has penalties: it turns the single indirection of an unmanaged pointer into a double indirection, and has additional management overhead in the assignment operators due to the reference counter. This is an acceptable tradeoff when wrapping objects that are expensive to copy, and which need to be "owned" by disparate parties: you can allocate the object just once, then pass around the reference counted pointer, knowing that the last user will "turn out the lights".<p>
<b>Implementation</b> <b>detail:</b> You may notice that this class manages two pointers, one to the data we're managing, and one to the reference count. You might wonder why we don't wrap these up into a structure and keep just a pointer to an instance of it to simplify the memory management. It would indeed do that, but then every access to the data we manage would be a triple indirection instead of just double. It's a tradeoff, and we've chosen to take a minor complexity hit to avoid the performance hit.

Copy an existing refcounted pointer. 
<p>
If we are managing a pointer, this decrements the refcount for it and destroys the managed object if the refcount falls to 0. Then we increment the other object's reference count and copy that refcount and the managed pointer into this object.<p>
This is a no-op if you pass a reference to this same object.

This isn't intended to be used directly; if you need the pointer, call <a class="el" href="classmysqlpp_1_1RefCountedPointer.html#26757f1138dded33faeb1978004d0639">raw()</a> instead. It's used internally by the compiler to implement operators bool, ==, and !=<p>

This will almost kinda sorta do the right thing: the Foo object held by the refcounted pointer will be destroyed as you wanted, but then when the refcounted pointer goes out of scope, the memory is deleted a second time, which will probably crash your program. This is easy to accidentally do when converting a good ol' unmanaged pointer to a refcounted pointer and forgetting to remove the delete calls needed previously.
