Detailed Description

A common object base class with auto-pointer support.

A common object class is used which may be referenced counted and associated with a smart auto-pointer class. A lot of the things found here were inspired by working with Objective-C. Many of the classes are designed to offer automatic heap management through smart pointers and temporary objects controlled through the scope of the stack frame of method calls.
