Detailed Description

template<class T, class R>
class ThePEG::Reference< T, R >

The Reference and its base class ReferenceBase defines an interface to a class derived from the InterfacedBase, through which pointers to other InterfacedBase objects may be manipulated.

Reference is templated on the type of the class and the class of the objects pointed to, and is derived from the InterfaceBase class via ReferenceBase and RefInterfaceBase.

For each InterfacedBase class exactly one static Reference object should created for each member variable which should be interfaced. This object will automatically register itself with the BaseRepository class.
