  class Foundation_API RefCountedObject
  
A base class for objects that employ reference counting based garbage collection. Reference-counted objects inhibit construction by copying and assignment. { public: RefCountedObject(); Creates the RefCountedObject. The initial reference count is one.

          void duplicate() const;
  
Increments the object's reference count. void release() const; Decrements the object's reference count and deletes the object if the count reaches zero. int referenceCount() const; Returns the reference count.

  protected:
          virtual ~RefCountedObject();
  
Destroys the RefCountedObject.
