Threading::ObjectRef Class Reference
#include <objectref.h>
Inheritance diagram for Threading::ObjectRef:
Detailed Description
A thread-safe reference to a shared object. Object refs are used with the messaging system to reference opaque objects created and manipulated in other threads. ObjectRef objects must be created on the heap (thus they are ref-counted) because the "client-side" owner-object may be discarded before the target object in the other thread is destroyed.(C) 2010 Radon Labs GmbH
