void | operator= (Object *object) |
Set our pointer to a specific object. | |
bool | operator== (Object *object) const |
test if the object being referenced is the same as the object we specify. | |

Object * | object |
This is particularly useful in conjunction with reference counted objects which can be managed and automatically removed from the heap when they are no longer being referenced by a smart pointer. The smart pointer itself would normally be constructed and initialized as an auto variable in a method call, and will dereference the object when the pointer falls out of scope. This is actually a helper class for the typed pointer template.

ucc::auto_object::auto_object | ( | const auto_object & | pointer | ) |
ucc::auto_object::~auto_object | ( | ) |
Delete auto pointer.
When it falls out of scope, the retention of the object it references is reduced. If it falls to zero in a reference counted object, then the object is auto-deleted.
