       A reference countable object.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <object.h>

   Public Member Functions
       virtual void * getObject (void)=0
	   The actual object being managed can be returned by this method as a void and then recast to the actual type.

   Protected Member Functions
       RefObject ()

       class RefPointer

Detailed Description
       A reference countable object.

       This is used in association with smart pointers (RefPointer).

       Author:
	   David Sugar dyfet@gnutelephony.org Object managed by smart pointer reference count.

Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   ost::RefObject::RefObject () [inline],  [protected]
       The constructor simply initializes the count.

   virtual ost::RefObject::~RefObject () [protected],  [virtual]
       The destructor is called when the reference count returns to zero. This is done through a virtual destructor.

Member Function Documentation
   virtual void* ost::RefObject::getObject (void) [pure virtual]
       The actual object being managed can be returned by this method as a void and then recast to the actual type. This removes the need to
       dynamic cast from RefObject and the dependence on rtti this implies.

       Returns:
	   underlying object being referenced.
