## Detailed Description

Base strong reference counted object interface.

Implements common reference counting routines to control object life time.

Use retain() to notify the object you are going to use it, thus sharing it's ownership. Use release() to release object reference when it is no longer needed. Use getRefCount() to obtain current reference count of the object.

All objects are created with initial strong reference count of 1 and weak reference count of 1.

When object reference count drops to 0, it's destroyed and deallocated automatically.

All functions of this interface have thread safe implementations in SDK classes.

Note
  You should always destroy reference counted objects by calling appropriate release() function and never try to call delete on them directly!
