//
// A "smart" pointer type with reference tracking. Every pointer to a
// particular object is kept on a circular linked list. When the last pointer
// to an object is destroyed or reassigned, the object is deleted.
//
// Used properly, this deletes the object when the last reference goes away.
// There are several caveats:
// - Like all reference counting schemes, cycles lead to leaks.
// - Each smart pointer is actually two pointers (8 bytes instead of 4).
// - Every time a pointer is released, the entire list of pointers to that
// object is traversed. This class is therefore NOT SUITABLE when there
// will often be more than two or three pointers to a particular object.
// - References are only tracked as long as linked_ptr<> objects are copied.
// If a linked_ptr<> is converted to a raw pointer and back, BAD THINGS
// will happen (double deletion).
//
// A good use of this class is storing object references in STL containers.
// You can safely put linked_ptr<> in a vector<>.
// Other uses may not be as good.
//
// Note: If you use an incomplete type with linked_ptr<>, the class
// *containing* linked_ptr<> must have a constructor and destructor (even
// if they do nothing!).
//
// Thread Safety:
// A linked_ptr is NOT thread safe. Copying a linked_ptr object is
// effectively a read-write operation.
//
// Alternative: to linked_ptr is shared_ptr, which
// - is also two pointers in size (8 bytes for 32 bit addresses)
// - is thread safe for copying and deletion
// - supports weak_ptrs
