12/** \class TClassRef
13TClassRef is used to implement a permanent reference to a TClass
14object. In particular this reference will change if and when the
15TClass object is regenerated. This regeneration usually happens
16when a library containing the described class is loaded after a
17file containing an instance of this class has been opened.
18
19The references kept track of using an intrusive double linked list.
20The intrusive list is maintained by TClass::AddRef and
21TClass::RemoveRef. The 'start' of the list is held in
22TClass::fRefStart.
