     15 
     16     SkWeakRefCnt is the base class for objects that may be shared by multiple
     17     objects. When an existing strong owner wants to share a reference, it calls
     18     ref(). When a strong owner wants to release its reference, it calls
     19     unref(). When the shared object's strong reference count goes to zero as
     20     the result of an unref() call, its (virtual) weak_dispose method is called.
     21     It is an error for the destructor to be called explicitly (or via the
     22     object going out of scope on the stack or calling delete) if
     23     getRefCnt() > 1.
     24 
     25     In addition to strong ownership, an owner may instead obtain a weak
     26     reference by calling weak_ref(). A call to weak_ref() must be balanced by a
     27     call to weak_unref(). To obtain a strong reference from a weak reference,
     28     call try_ref(). If try_ref() returns true, the owner's pointer is now also
     29     a strong reference on which unref() must be called. Note that this does not
     30     affect the original weak reference, weak_unref() must still be called. When
     31     the weak reference count goes to zero, the object is deleted. While the
     32     weak reference count is positive and the strong reference count is zero the
     33     object still exists, but will be in the disposed state. It is up to the
     34     object to define what this means.
     35 
     36     Note that a strong reference implicitly implies a weak reference. As a
     37     result, it is allowable for the owner of a strong ref to call try_ref().
     38     This will have the same effect as calling ref(), but may be more expensive.
     39 
     40     Example:
     41 
     42     SkWeakRefCnt myRef = strongRef.weak_ref();
     43     ... // strongRef.unref() may or may not be called
     44     if (myRef.try_ref()) {
     45         ... // use myRef
     46         myRef.unref();
     47     } else {
     48         // myRef is in the disposed state
     49     }
     50     myRef.weak_unref();
