Detailed Description

Thread-safe refounting, calls the <release> method when refcount falls to 0.

The refcount is initialized to 0. When an instance of a derived class becomes owned by a managed pointer (Refcountable_Guard_T) the reference count becomes non-zero.

Instances declared on the stack should always have a refcount of zero.

A method that creates or simply returns an instance of Refcountable should not increment the reference count. It is the responsibility of the client to increment the reference count (take ownership or guard against deletion). The client cannot know if the method will or will not incr the refcount on its behalf.

Use Refcountable_Guard_T or similar service to guarantee the exception safe direct pairing of increments and decrements. Avoid calling _incr_refcnt and _decr_refcnt.
