// A basic reference-counting garbage collection scheme based
// on intrusive pointers, where the reference count is embedded in
// the object via inheritance.  Simply inherit from RC to create an
// object that can be tracked with an RCPtr.
//
// We use tend to use RCPtr (or RCWeakPtr) rather than the other
// smart pointer classes (std or boost) for flexibility and
// performance.
//
// Smart pointers have two basic attributes that determine
// their performance.  Either of these attributes, when required,
// will degrade the performance of the smart pointer:
//
// 1. whether the smart pointer is thread-safe, i.e. it uses an
//    atomic reference counter
// 2. whether the smart pointer can be referrred to via a
//    weak reference
//
// In keeping with the oft-stated C++ motto of only paying for
// what you use, both attributes can be independently controlled.
//
// * thread-unsafe/not-weak-referenceable -- class Foo : public RC<thread_unsafe_refcount>
// * thread-safe/not-weak-referenceable   -- class Foo : public RC<thread_safe_refcount>
// * thread-unsafe/weak-referenceable     -- class Foo : public RCWeak<thread_unsafe_refcount>
// * thread-safe/weak-referenceable       -- class Foo : public RCWeak<thread_safe_refcount>
//
// Thread-safe reference counting can be significantly more expensive
// because an atomic object must be used for the reference count.
// Therefore, thread-safe reference counting should only be used for
// objects that have visibility across multiple threads.
//
// In addition, having an object be weak-referenceable also
// imposes a cost, so it should be avoided unless necessary.
//
// For clarity and as a general convention in the OpenVPN code,
// any object that inherits from RC should also declare a Ptr
// typedef that defines the smart pointer type that should be used to
// track the object, e.g.:
//
// class Foo : public RC<thread_unsafe_refcount> {
// public:
//   typedef RCPtr<Foo> Ptr;        // strong pointer
//   typedef RCWeakPtr<Foo> WPtr;   // weak pointer
// };
//
// This allows a smart-pointer to Foo to be referred to
// as Foo::Ptr or Foo::WPtr.
//
// Note that RC/RCWeak fully supports virtual inheritance.  For
// example, consider the diamond inheritance pattern below, where
// both A and B objects contain their own reference count, but C
// inherits from both A and B.  To prevent C objects from
// having two separate reference counts, it is necessary to
// virtually inherit from RC.
//
// class A : public virtual RC<thread_unsafe_refcount> {}
// class B : public virtual RC<thread_unsafe_refcount> {}
// class C : public A, public B {}
