[Xenocide-programming] Counted Reference and Network References

[<fl...@ma...>]

Hi Vlad, (forwarding to the list),

I am glad to announce you that the Counted Reference template I had made
based on some interesting ideas that I collected from the internet is live
and kicking :P ... I cannot update it cause I dont have internet at home
for (I hope) a few days. But it had overcomed my own expectations (I had
even done a test suite -regression test- for it and they work as
expected)... The only thing that I had been having trouble is to integrate
the Singleton template from another compilation unit (I created a
singleton in one .lib and try to use it from the main program), it do not
get created but I cannot reseach it further until I have internet again.

As a side note, I am very convinced that the network persistent data will
follow the same approach as CountedRef<classname> because of its
simplicity and has an additional system that will keep them synchronized.
So we will have 2 new templates NetworkRef<classname> and
ServerRef<classname> that will be used to do the effective store (so there
will be a map between instances). And of course a NetworkReferenceManager
and a ServerReferenceManager (or a single NetworkReferenceManager) that
will handle the load to communicate to the other side what objects changed
and how and in the case of a NetworkRef change issue the command to the
server for data and action validation.

Any idea on the latest issue just drop it to the list (that's for all
readers).
