/** Smart pointer for observed objects, that automatically set pointers to them to null when they deleted.
* To use the observer_ptr<> robustly in mulit-threaded applications it is recommend to access the pointer via
* the lock() method that passes back a ref_ptr<> that safely takes a reference to the object to prevent deletion
* during usage of the object. In certain conditions it may be safe to use the pointer directly without using lock(),
* which will confer a perfomance advantage, the conditions are:
* 1) The data structure is only accessed/deleted in single threaded/serial way.
* 2) The data strucutre is guarenteed by high level management of data strucutures and threads which avoid
* possible situations where the observer_ptr<>'s object may be deleted by one thread whilst being accessed
* by another.
* If you are in any doubt about whether it is safe to access the object safe then use
* ref_ptr<> observer_ptr<>.lock() combination. */
