Detailed Description

RCPtrBase is the base class of RCPtr and ConstRCPtr which are reference counted (smart) pointers.

The RCPtrBase class communicates with the ReferenceCounted object which must be the base class of all objects pointed to and which keeps count of the pointers pointing to an object.
