[Boost-users] portable lock-free reference counting

Hello,
I have a class that contains a reference count.  I would like to maintain
the count without using a mutex.  Can anyone recommend a way to do this
portably, using Boost?  I see the needed mechanics in
'detail/sp_counted_base.hpp', but since it's in 'detail', I'm not sure what
the most portable (and maintainable) way to use it is.

Thanks,
-Bryan
