#ifndef __POINTERHOLDER_HH__
#define __POINTERHOLDER_HH__
// This class is basically boost::shared_pointer but predates that by
// several years.
// This class expects to be initialized with a dynamically allocated
// object pointer. It keeps a reference count and deletes this once
// the reference count goes to zero. PointerHolder objects are
// explicitly safe for use in STL containers.
// It is very important that a client who pulls the pointer out of
// this holder does not let the holder go out of scope until it is
// finished with the pointer. It is also important that exactly one
// instance of this object ever gets initialized with a given pointer.
// Otherwise, the pointer will be deleted twice, and before that, some
// objects will be left with a pointer to a deleted object. In other
// words, the only legitimate way for two PointerHolder objects to
// contain the same pointer is for one to be a copy of the other.
// Copy and assignment semantics are well-defined and essentially
// allow you to use PointerHolder as a means to get pass-by-reference
// semantics in a pass-by-value environment without having to worry
// about memory management details.
// Comparison (== and <) are defined and operate on the internally
// stored pointers, not on the data. This makes it possible to store
// PointerHolder objects in sorted lists or to find them in STL
// containers just as one would be able to store pointers. Comparing
// the underlying pointers provides a well-defined, if not
// particularly meaningful, ordering.
