counting

i want to share objects between multiple clients and want to delete
the object from shared pool when the last client deletes a refernce to
it

I think this is OT but:

Not the flyweight pattern gc'tor exactly.

More of a differential or cyclic weighted pattern:

atomic_ptr collector uses an atomic differential reference count.

My collector collects multi-objects using a single proxy reference count.

Those garbage collectors will give you an idea on how to write fast,
race-condition free, atomic garbage collected objects without having to use
separate threads, or any damn mark-and-sweep type crap.

Enjoy!

It depends on how you want to share you objects. You may not even need
special reference counting. You might be able to use "normal" reference
counting...
