Detailed Description

Reference counted object base class. Used by all objects that are managed through smart pointers (the template class neo::core::Pointer). Once reference count reaches zero, the object deletes itself.

You must NEVER delete a reference counted object directly! All access to a reference counted object MUST be done through the smart pointer interface as offered by the neo::core::Pointer template class
