reference counting is where you keep track of how many variables hold a reference to a particular pointer.

Each time you set a variable to point to a pointer that is reference counted, you increment the reference count. Each time that variable is done with your object, and no longer uses that pointer, you decrement the reference count.

When the reference count reaches 0, it is safe to delete that pointer because nobody else is referencing that object.

Reference counting has become a very popular technique in safely managing dynamic memory when more than one object needs to hold a reference to a pointer.

COM uses reference counting extensively to manage its interface pointers.
