counter_t Class Reference
Detailed DescriptionA counter_t is a noncopyable thread safe counter, useful for managing the reference count of a shared resource.
counter_t wraps reference count operations that require thread safety into a single class. While this does not guarantee client code will be thread safe, it helps to take a step in that direction. It also cleans up client code and keeps thread-handling scoped to a single file. Consider copy_on_write as an example class that leverages counter_t.
