Description

AddReference and ReleaseReference can be used in threads. However a thread can only call the methods, if either:

• The thread already holds a reference (and no other thread will release that reference).
• The thread created the reference, and no other thread has access to the object (yet).
• The thread is in a critical section, preventing other threads from decreasing the reference count.
