Shared pointer class.
A shared pointer is a "smart" pointer that retains ownership of an object using reference counting across all smart pointers referencing that object.
It is similar to the std::shared_ptr class introduced in C++11; however, this is not a compatible implementation (no weak pointer, no make_shared, no custom deleters and so on.)
Usage: SharedPtr<Class> ptr(new Class())
When ptr is passed around by value, the copy constructor and destructor manages the reference count of the raw pointer. If the counter reaches zero, delete is called on the raw pointer.
To avoid loops, use "weak" references by calling the original pointer directly through ptr.get().
