Detailed Description
SharedObject implements a reference counting framework simular for effient and easily-maintained memory management.
To use the class, both the SharedObject class (the public class), and the SharedObjectNode class (the internal class) must be inherited from. It can be done in two different files and together with memory management, this approach provides a clear destinction of which methods of the class are to be considered "public", i.e. methods for public use that can be considered to remain over time with small changes, and the internal memory.
When interfacing a software, which typically includes including some header file, this is best done only in the file where the internal class is defined, to avoid polluting the global namespace and other side effects.
The default constructor always means creating a null pointer to an internal class only. To allocate an internal class (this works only when the internal class isn't abstract), use the constructor with arguments.
The copy constructor and the assignment operator perform shallow copies only, to make a deep copy you must use the clone method explictly. This will give a shared pointer instance.
In an inheritance hierarchy, you can cast down automatically, e.g. (SXFunction is a child class of FX): SXFunction derived(...); FX base = derived;
To cast up, use the shared_cast template function, which works analogously to dynamic_cast, static_cast, const_cast etc, e.g.: SXFunction derived(...); FX base = derived; SXFunction derived_from_base = shared_cast<SXFunction>(base);
A failed shared_cast will result in a null pointer (cf. dynamic_cast)
