// .NAME vtkObjectBase - abstract base class for most VTK objects
// .SECTION Description
// vtkObjectBase is the base class for all reference counted classes
// in the VTK. These classes include vtkCommand classes, vtkInformationKey
// classes, and vtkObject classes.
//
// vtkObjectBase performs reference counting: objects that are
// reference counted exist as long as another object uses them. Once
// the last reference to a reference counted object is removed, the
// object will spontaneously destruct.
//
// Constructor and destructor of the subclasses of vtkObjectBase
// should be protected, so that only New() and UnRegister() actually
// call them. Debug leaks can be used to see if there are any objects
// left with nonzero reference count.
//
// .SECTION Caveats
// Note: Objects of subclasses of vtkObjectBase should always be
// created with the New() method and deleted with the Delete()
// method. They cannot be allocated off the stack (i.e., automatic
// objects) because the constructor is a protected method.
//
