// General utilities for constructing a reference counted class and the
// appropriate reference count implementation for that class.
//
// These utilities select either the `RefCountedObject` implementation or
// `FinalRefCountedObject` depending on whether the to-be-shared class is
// derived from the RefCountInterface interface or not (respectively).
// `make_ref_counted`:
//
// Use this when you want to construct a reference counted object of type T and
// get a `scoped_refptr<>` back. Example:
//
// auto p = make_ref_counted<Foo>("bar", 123);
//
// For a class that inherits from RefCountInterface, this is equivalent to:
//
// auto p = scoped_refptr<Foo>(new RefCountedObject<Foo>("bar", 123));
//
// If the class does not inherit from RefCountInterface, but does have
// AddRef/Release methods (so a T* is convertible to rtc::scoped_refptr), this
// is equivalent to just
//
// auto p = scoped_refptr<Foo>(new Foo("bar", 123));
//
// Otherwise, the example is equivalent to:
//
// auto p = scoped_refptr<FinalRefCountedObject<Foo>>(
// new FinalRefCountedObject<Foo>("bar", 123));
//
// In these cases, `make_ref_counted` reduces the amount of boilerplate code but
// also helps with the most commonly intended usage of RefCountedObject whereby
// methods for reference counting, are virtual and designed to satisfy the need
// of an interface. When such a need does not exist, it is more efficient to use
// the `FinalRefCountedObject` template, which does not add the vtable overhead.
//
// Note that in some cases, using RefCountedObject directly may still be what's
// needed.
// `make_ref_counted` for abstract classes that are convertible to
// RefCountInterface. The is_abstract requirement rejects classes that inherit
// both RefCountInterface and RefCounted object, which is a a discouraged
// pattern, and would result in double inheritance of RefCountedObject if this
// template was applied.
