// This file defines IntrusiveRefCntPtr, a template class that
// implements a "smart" pointer for objects that maintain their own
// internal reference count, and RefCountedBase/RefCountedBaseVPTR, two
// generic base classes for objects that wish to have their lifetimes
// managed using reference counting.
//
// IntrusiveRefCntPtr is similar to Boost's intrusive_ptr with added
// LLVM-style casting.

///  reference count is decremented.  This class also safely handles
