    \class QSharedPointer
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QSharedPointer class holds a strong reference to a shared pointer.
    \since 4.5
 
    \reentrant
 
    \compares strong
    \compareswith strong QSharedPointer<X> X* std::nullptr_t

    is a base type of the other.
    \endcompareswith
 
    The QSharedPointer is an automatic, shared pointer in C++, where the
    template parameter \a T specifies the type of the pointer being managed.
    It behaves exactly like a normal pointer for normal purposes,
    including respect for constness.
 
    QSharedPointer will delete the pointer it is holding when it goes
    out of scope, provided no other QSharedPointer objects are
    referencing it.
 
    A QSharedPointer object can be created from a normal pointer,
    another QSharedPointer object or by promoting a
    QWeakPointer object to a strong reference.
 
    \section1 Thread-Safety
 
    QSharedPointer and QWeakPointer are reentrant classes. This means that, in
    general, a given QSharedPointer or QWeakPointer object \b{cannot} be
    accessed by multiple threads at the same time without synchronization.
 
    Different QSharedPointer and QWeakPointer objects can safely be accessed
    by multiple threads at the same time. This includes the case where they
    hold pointers to the same object; the reference counting mechanism
    is atomic, and no manual synchronization is required.
 
    It should be noted that, while the pointer value can be accessed in this
    manner (that is, by multiple threads at the same time, without
    synchronization), QSharedPointer and QWeakPointer provide no guarantee
    about the object being pointed to. The specific thread-safety and
    reentrancy rules for that object still apply.
 
    \section1 Other Pointer Classes
 
    Qt also provides two other pointer wrapper classes: QPointer and
    QSharedDataPointer. They are incompatible with one another, since
    each has its very different use case.
 
    QSharedPointer holds a shared pointer by means of an external
    reference count (i.e., a reference counter placed outside the
    object). Like its name indicates, the pointer value is shared
    among all instances of QSharedPointer and QWeakPointer. The
    contents of the object pointed to by the pointer should not be
    considered shared, however: there is only one object. For that
    reason, QSharedPointer does not provide a way to detach or make
    copies of the pointed object.
 
    QSharedDataPointer, on the other hand, holds a pointer to shared
    data (i.e., a class derived from QSharedData). It does so by means
    of an internal reference count, placed in the QSharedData base
    class. This class can, therefore, detach based on the type of
    access made to the data being guarded: if it's a non-const access,
    it creates a copy atomically for the operation to complete.
 
    QExplicitlySharedDataPointer is a variant of QSharedDataPointer, except
    that it only detaches if QExplicitlySharedDataPointer::detach() is
    explicitly called (hence the name).
 
    QScopedPointer simply holds a pointer to a heap allocated object and
    deletes it in its destructor. This class is useful when an object needs to
    be heap allocated and deleted, but no more. QScopedPointer is lightweight,
    it makes no use of additional structure or reference counting.
 
    Finally, QPointer holds a pointer to a QObject-derived object, but it
    does so weakly. QWeakPointer has the same functionality, but its use for
    that function is deprecated.
 
    \section1 Optional Pointer Tracking
 
    A feature of QSharedPointer that can be enabled at compile-time for
    debugging purposes is a pointer tracking mechanism. When enabled,
    QSharedPointer registers in a global set all the pointers that it tracks.
    This allows one to catch mistakes like assigning the same pointer to two
    QSharedPointer objects.
 
    This function is enabled by defining the \tt{QT_SHAREDPOINTER_TRACK_POINTERS}
    macro before including the QSharedPointer header.
 
    It is safe to use this feature even with code compiled without the
    feature. QSharedPointer will ensure that the pointer is removed from the
    tracker even from code compiled without pointer tracking.
 
    Note, however, that the pointer tracking feature has limitations on
    multiple- or virtual-inheritance (that is, in cases where two different
    pointer addresses can refer to the same object). In that case, if a
    pointer is cast to a different type and its value changes,
    QSharedPointer's pointer tracking mechanism may fail to detect that the
    object being tracked is the same.
 
    \omit
    \section1 QSharedPointer internals
 
    QSharedPointer has two "private" members: the pointer itself being tracked
    and a d-pointer. Those members are private to the class, but QSharedPointer
    is friends with QWeakPointer and other QSharedPointer with different
    template arguments. (On some compilers, template friends are not supported,
    so the members are technically public)
 
    The reason for keeping the pointer value itself outside the d-pointer is
    because of multiple inheritance needs. If you have two QSharedPointer
    objects of different pointer types, but pointing to the same object in
    memory, it could happen that the pointer values are different. The \tt
    differentPointers autotest exemplifies this problem. The same thing could
    happen in the case of virtual inheritance: a pointer of class matching
    the virtual base has different address compared to the pointer of the
    complete object. See the \tt virtualBaseDifferentPointers autotest for
    this problem.
 
    The d pointer is a pointer to QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountData, but it
    always points to one of the two classes derived from ExternalRefCountData.
 
    \section2 d-pointer
    \section3 QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountData
 
    It is basically a reference-counted reference-counter plus a pointer to the
    function to be used to delete the pointer. It has three members: \tt
    strongref, \tt weakref, and \tt destroyer. The strong reference counter is
    controlling the lifetime of the object tracked by QSharedPointer. A
    positive value indicates that the object is alive. It's also the number of
    QSharedObject instances that are attached to this Data.
 
    When the strong reference count decreases to zero, the object is deleted
    (see below for information on custom deleters). The strong reference count
    can also exceptionally be -1, indicating that there are no QSharedPointers
    attached to an object, which is tracked too. The only case where this is
    possible is that of QWeakPointers and QPointers tracking a QObject. Note
    that QWeakPointers tracking a QObject is deprecated.
 
    The weak reference count controls the lifetime of the d-pointer itself.
    It can be thought of as an internal/intrusive reference count for
    ExternalRefCountData itself. This count is equal to the number of
    QSharedPointers and QWeakPointers that are tracking this object. In case
    the object is a QObject being tracked by QPointer, this number is increased
    by 1, since QObjectPrivate tracks it too.
 
    The third member is a pointer to the function that is used to delete the
    pointer being tracked. That happens when the destroy() function is called.
 
    The size of this class is the size of the two atomic ints plus the size of
    a pointer. On 32-bit architectures, that's 12 bytes, whereas on 64-bit ones
    it's 16 bytes. There is no padding.
 
    \section3 QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter
 
    This class derives from ExternalRefCountData and is a template class. As
    template parameters, it has the type of the pointer being tracked (\tt T)
    and a \tt Deleter, which is anything. It adds two fields to its parent
    class, matching those template parameters: a member of type \tt Deleter and
    a member of type \tt T*. Those members are actually inside a template
    struct of type CustomDeleter, which is partially-specialized for normal
    deletion. See below for more details on that.
 
    The purpose of this class is to store the pointer to be deleted and the
    deleter code along with the d-pointer. This allows the last strong
    reference to call any arbitrary function that disposes of the object. For
    example, this allows calling QObject::deleteLater() on a given object.
    The pointer to the object is kept here because it needs to match the actual
    deleter function's parameters, regardless of what template argument the
    last QSharedPointer instance had.
 
    This class is never instantiated directly: the constructors and
    destructor are deleted. Only the create() function
    may be called to return an object of this type. See below for construction
    details.
 
    The size of this class depends on the size of \tt Deleter. If it's an empty
    functor (i.e., no members), ABIs generally assign it the size of 1. But
    given that it's followed by a pointer, padding bytes may be inserted so
    that the alignment of the class and of the pointer are correct. In that
    case, the size of this class is 12+4+4 = 20 bytes on 32-bit architectures,
    or 16+8+8 = 40 bytes on 64-bit architectures. If \tt Deleter is a function
    pointer, the size should be the same as the empty structure case. If \tt
    Deleter is a pointer to a member function (PMF), the size will be bigger
    and will depend on the ABI. For architectures using the Itanium C++ ABI, a
    PMF is twice the size of a normal pointer. In that case, the size of this
    structure will be 12+8+4 = 24 bytes on 32-bit architectures, 16+16+8 = 40
    bytes on 64-bit ones.
 
    If the deleter was not specified when creating the QSharedPointer object
    (i.e., if a standard \tt delete call is expected), then there's an
    optimization that avoids the need to store another function pointer in
    ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter. Instead, a template specialization makes
    a direct delete call. The size of the structure, in this case, is 12+4 = 16
    bytes on 32-bit architectures, 16+8 = 24 bytes on 64-bit ones.
 
    \section3 QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData
 
    This class also derives from ExternalRefCountData and it is
    also a template class. The template parameter is the type \tt T of the
    class which QSharedPointer tracks. It adds only one member to its parent,
    which is of type \tt T (the actual type, not a pointer to it).
 
    The purpose of this class is to lay the \tt T object out next to the
    reference counts, saving one memory allocation per shared pointer. This
    is particularly interesting for small \tt T or for the cases when there
    are few if any QWeakPointer tracking the object. This class exists to
    implement the QSharedPointer::create() call.
 
    Like ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter, this class is never instantiated
    directly. This class also provides a create() member that returns the
    pointer, and deletes its constructors and destructor.
 
    The size of this class depends on the size of \tt T.
 
    \section3 Instantiating ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter and ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData
 
    Like explained above, these classes have private constructors. Moreover,
    they are not defined anywhere, so trying to call \tt{new ClassType} would
    result in a compilation or linker error. Instead, these classes must be
    constructed via their create() methods.
 
    Instead of instantiating the class by the normal way, the create() method
    calls \tt{operator new} directly with the size of the class, then calls
    the parent class's constructor only (that is, ExternalRefCountData's constructor).
    This ensures that the inherited members are initialised properly.
 
    After initialising the base class, the
    ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter::create() function initialises the new
    members directly, by using the placement \tt{operator new}. In the case
    of the ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData::create() function, the address
    to the still-uninitialised \tt T member is saved for the callee to use.
    The member is only initialised in QSharedPointer::create(), so that we
    avoid having many variants of the internal functions according to the
    arguments in use for calling the constructor.
 
    When initialising the parent class, the create() functions pass the
    address of the static deleter() member function. That is, when the
    destroy() function is called by QSharedPointer, the deleter() functions
    are called instead. These functions static_cast the ExternalRefCountData*
    parameter to their own type and execute their deletion: for the
    ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter::deleter() case, it runs the user's
    custom deleter, then destroys the deleter; for
    ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData::deleter, it simply calls the \tt T
    destructor directly.
 
    Only one non-inline function is required per template, which is
    the deleter() static member. All the other functions can be inlined.
    What's more, the address of deleter() is calculated only in code, which
    can be resolved at link-time if the linker can determine that the
    function lies in the current application or library module (since these
    classes are not exported, that is the case for Windows or for builds with
    \tt{-fvisibility=hidden}).
 
    \section3 Modifications due to pointer-tracking
 
    To ensure that pointers created with pointer-tracking enabled get
    un-tracked when destroyed, even if destroyed by code compiled without the
    feature, QSharedPointer modifies slightly the instructions of the
    previous sections.
 
    When ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter or
    ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData are used, their create() functions
    will set the ExternalRefCountData::destroyer function
    pointer to safetyCheckDeleter() instead. These static member functions
    simply call internalSafetyCheckRemove() before passing control to the
    normal deleter() function.
 
    If neither custom deleter nor QSharedPointer::create() are used, then
    QSharedPointer uses a custom deleter of its own: the normalDeleter()
    function, which simply calls \tt delete. By using a custom deleter, the
    safetyCheckDeleter() procedure described above kicks in.

    \class QWeakPointer
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QWeakPointer class holds a weak reference to a shared pointer.
    \since 4.5
    \reentrant
 
    The QWeakPointer is an automatic weak reference to a
    pointer in C++, where the template parameter \a T specifies the type
    of the pointer being tracked. It cannot be used to dereference the
    pointer directly, but it can be used to verify if the pointer has been
    deleted or not in another context.
 
    QWeakPointer objects can only be created by assignment from a
    QSharedPointer.
 
    It's important to note that QWeakPointer provides no automatic casting
    operators to prevent mistakes from happening. Even though QWeakPointer
    tracks a pointer, it should not be considered a pointer itself, since it
    doesn't guarantee that the pointed object remains valid.
 
    Therefore, to access the pointer that QWeakPointer is tracking, you must
    first promote it to QSharedPointer and verify if the resulting object is
    null or not. QSharedPointer guarantees that the object isn't deleted, so
    if you obtain a non-null object, you may use the pointer. See
    QWeakPointer::toStrongRef() for an example.
 
    \omit
    \section1 QWeakPointer internals
 
    QWeakPointer shares most of its internal functionality with
    \l{QSharedPointer#qsharedpointer-internals}{QSharedPointer}, so see that
    class's internal documentation for more information.
 
    QWeakPointer requires an external reference counter in order to operate.
    Therefore, it is incompatible by design with \l QSharedData-derived
    classes.
 
    It has a special QObject constructor, which works by calling
    QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountData::getAndRef, which retrieves the
    d-pointer from QObjectPrivate. If one isn't set yet, that function
    creates the d-pointer and atomically sets it.
 
    If getAndRef needs to create a d-pointer, it sets the strongref to -1,
    indicating that the QObject is not shared: QWeakPointer is used only to
    determine whether the QObject has been deleted. In that case, it cannot
    be upgraded to QSharedPointer (see the previous section).

    \class QEnableSharedFromThis
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief A base class that allows obtaining a QSharedPointer for an object already managed by a shared pointer.
    \since 5.4
 
    You can inherit this class when you need to create a QSharedPointer
    from any instance of a class; for instance, from within the
    object itself. The template parameter \a T specifies the type of the
    class that inherits from QEnableSharedFromThis. The key point is that
    the technique of just returning QSharedPointer<T>(this) cannot be used,
    because this winds up creating multiple distinct QSharedPointer objects
    with separate reference counts. For this reason you must never
    create more than one QSharedPointer from the same raw pointer.
 
    QEnableSharedFromThis defines two member functions called
    sharedFromThis() that return a QSharedPointer<T> and
    QSharedPointer<const T>, depending on constness, to \c this:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qsharedpointer.cpp 0
 
    It is also possible to get a shared pointer from an object outside of
    the class itself. This is especially useful in code that provides an
    interface to scripts, where it is currently not possible to use shared
    pointers. For example:
