Is this the right way to implement ref-counting? Any input would be

Why do you need this? Can't you keep the reference count inside your
SmartPtr?
Show me a working solution, please! :-)

why on the earth anyone would copy that bunch of crap?
save your threats to something more valuable
and how I will got sued if I copy your "little precious" code into my
softwares? you don't seem to have the reverse engineering profile
you don't even know about critical sections. better finish the
operating system class or become a lawyer before trying to sue the
people ;-)
There's ALWAYS a possibility. And besides, I'm a HS Freshman. And I
REALLY need to take some CE and Advanced C++ classes at CSULB, don't I?
You CAN just learn stuff yourself, you know.
Listen buddy, I've BEEN learning this stuff myself for the past five
YEARS. A college class would be a nice supplement to spending hours
reading reference books and comp.lang.c++. ya****@gmail.co m schrieb:

You can do that for yourself. Google helps alot.
I wanted to say: It's hardly possible.
A reference counted smart pointer has to share the pointee and the
reference count with its instances, so there are two common approaches:
- intrusive: The counter is inside the pointee, the smart pointer calls
member functions like AddRef() and Release().
- non-intrusive: The smart pointer allocates an extra counter (either a
class or a simple "unsigned int")
For example, this one http://ootips.org/yonat/4dev/counted_ptr.h ?
From the Website:
[...]
private:
struct counter {
counter(X* p = 0, unsigned c = 1) : ptr(p), count(c) {}
X* ptr;
unsigned count;
}* itsCounter;
[...]
This implementation also uses an extra class for the reference count.
The difference is that the extra class is declared inside the smart
pointer class and also holds the pointer to the pointee.
If you don't it one here you can find more http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/smartptr.asp .
This also, but it uses a policy based approach.

Perhaps you're just stupid then. All of my programming expertise is a product
of:
(1) Learning from books.
(2) Practising.
(3) Reading and posting to comp.lang.*
From what I've seen of them, lecturers are a poor substitute for motivated
self-learning.

If you want atomically thread-safe and not merely "thread-safe as int",
take a look at http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...8%40xemaps.com
The cas64 is ibm style cas rather than msoft style cas. It's in assembler and
there might be some examples online somewhere. There used to be a version
downloadable from my sourceforge project page but it was such a good algorithm
that Sun has decided to patent it as their own invention. Seriously. Look
up patent application
20060037026 'Lightweight reference counting using single-target synchronization '
on upto.gov. There's some really nice illustrations in the patent application
though.

Then try harder. I've been programming in C++ for approximately 5 years, and
my proficiency far surpasses yours.
Get good books. Ask questions. Practise.

Hello,
I've been trying to implement smart pointers in C++ (combined with a

is based on the gamedev enginuity articles, various books and ...
whatever I could find on the subject :-)
I'll leave out the reference counter part because its pretty basic, but
my reference counter class is called xObject. My smart pointer class is
called xPointer.
