Mutex allocated dynamically when required. Added the following methods to
help manage the usage of the mutex:
void setThreadSafeRefUnref(bool threadSafe);
bool getThreadSafeRefUnref() const;
ref/unref:
/** Set whether reference counting should be use a mutex to create thread reference counting.*/
static void setThreadSafeReferenceCounting(bool enableThreadSafeReferenceCounting);
/** Get whether reference counting is active.*/
static bool getThreadSafeReferenceCounting();
associated variables which were only compiled in on debug build. These optional
methods/static vars were causingproblems when mixing debug and release builds.
not delete the object even if its count goes to 0 or below. This should
only be called in special circumstances, the ReaderWriter::ReadResult
being one of them. This new method has allowed the problem of objects
being multiple referenced on return from readNodeFile() & readImageFile().
objects that are deleted whilest still having a positive _refCount, such
as when a object has been deleted on the stack, yet other references still
exist for it. Have put the desctructor implementation in Object.cpp to
avoid adding yet another file with only a couple of lines of code in.
