Re: [reSIProcate] Reference Counting Smart Pointer


I think ripping off config (and other) dependencies is a good
idea, otherwise it would easily end up importing tons of
stuffs from boost.

However, I would suggest keeping its usage to stay the same as
if it was in boost, e.g.:
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
typedef boost::shared_ptr<int> int_sptr;

The reason I did it otherwise to class resip::Condition is
that the class was already there and used intensively,
the change was intended to be a bug fix and maintain backward
compatibility, but not adding new tool.

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.
