Implementation of the OwnershipPolicy used by SmartPtr Implements external reference counting for multithreaded programs Policy Usage: RefCountedMTAdj<ThreadingModel>::RefCountedMT<p>
<dl class="user" compact><dt><b>Warning</b></dt><dd>There could be a race condition, see bug "Race condition in RefCountedMTAdj::Release" <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1408845&group_id=29557&atid=396644">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1408845&group_id=29557&atid=396644</a> As stated in bug 1408845, the Release function is not thread safe if a SmartPtr copy-constructor tries to copy the last pointer to an object in one thread, while the destructor is acting on the last pointer in another thread. The existence of a race between a copy-constructor and destructor implies a design flaw at a higher level. That race condition must be fixed at a higher design level, and no change to this class could fix it. </dd></dl>
