Detailed Description
template<class T>
class osg::observer_ptr< T >
Smart pointer for observed objects, that automatically set pointers to them to null when they are deleted.
To use the observer_ptr<> robustly in multi-threaded applications it is recommend to access the pointer via the lock() method that passes back a ref_ptr<> that safely takes a reference to the object to prevent deletion during usage of the object. In certain conditions it may be safe to use the pointer directly without using lock(), which will confer a performance advantage, the conditions are: 1) The data structure is only accessed/deleted in single threaded/serial way. 2) The data strucutre is guaranteed by high level management of data strucutures and threads which avoid possible situations where the observer_ptr<>'s object may be deleted by one thread whilst being accessed by another. If you are in any doubt about whether it is safe to access the object safe then use the ref_ptr<> observer_ptr<>.lock() combination.

Assign the observer_ptr to a ref_ptr.
The ref_ptr will be valid if the referenced object hasn't been deleted and has a ref count > 0.
