[reSIProcate] Reference Counting Smart Pointer

[Scott Godin <slgodin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a need for an implementation of a reference counting smart pointer - to help manage User Profile lifetime.

 

My current plan is to borrow the shared_ptr implementation from Boost.  I've ripped out all of the boost config dependencies and have gotten it down to two isolated include files SharedCounter.hxx and SharedPtr.hxx which I plan to include in the /os directory.

 

The current plan is to include the implementation in the resip namespace.  I'm seeking advice/opinions on the naming for this template class.  The main options are:

1. resip::shared_ptr
2. resip::SharedPtr

 

Opinions?

 

Since this code and some code in Condition.cxx (Win32 stuff) have been borrowed from Boost I think we also need to include the following license block in the relevant source files.
