#define IMP_REF_COUNTED_DESTRUCTOR

Set up destructor for a ref counted object.

This macro defines a virtual destructor for a ref counted object. Ideally, the destructor would be defined private, so that the object cannot be declared on the stack and so must be ref counted, but in practice this breaks usage of the object with SWIG, some older compilers, C++11 smart pointers (e.g. std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr), and serialization, so a public destructor is used.

#define IMP_REF_COUNTED_INLINE_DESTRUCTOR	(		Name,

Like IMP_REF_COUNTED_DESTRUCTOR(), but the destructor is declared inline.

Like IMP_REF_COUNTED_DESTRUCTOR(), but the destructor is only declared, not defined.
