// Weak pointers help in cases where you have many objects referring back to a
// shared object and you wish for the lifetime of the shared object to not be
// bound to the lifetime of the referrers.  In other words, this is useful when
// reference counting is not a good fit.
//
// A common alternative to weak pointers is to have the shared object hold a
// list of all referrers, and then when the shared object is destroyed, it
// calls a method on the referrers to tell them to drop their references.  This
// approach also requires the referrers to tell the shared object when they get
// destroyed so that the shared object can remove the referrer from its list of
// referrers.  Such a solution works, but it is a bit complex.
//
// EXAMPLE:
//
//  class Controller : public SupportsWeakPtr<Controller> {
//   public:
//    void SpawnWorker() { Worker::StartNew(AsWeakPtr()); }
//    void WorkComplete(const Result& result) { ... }
//  };
//
//  class Worker {
//   public:
//    static void StartNew(const WeakPtr<Controller>& controller) {
//      Worker* worker = new Worker(controller);
//      // Kick off asynchronous processing...
//    }
//   private:
//    Worker(const WeakPtr<Controller>& controller)
//        : controller_(controller) {}
//    void DidCompleteAsynchronousProcessing(const Result& result) {
//      if (controller_)
//        controller_->WorkComplete(result);
//    }
//    WeakPtr<Controller> controller_;
//  };
//
// Given the above classes, a consumer may allocate a Controller object, call
// SpawnWorker several times, and then destroy the Controller object before all
// of the workers have completed.  Because the Worker class only holds a weak
// pointer to the Controller, we don't have to worry about the Worker
// dereferencing the Controller back pointer after the Controller has been
// destroyed.
//
// WARNING: weak pointers are not threadsafe!!!  You must only use a WeakPtr
// instance on thread where it was created.
