forcing users to use osgDB::readRef*File() methods. The later is preferable as it closes a potential threading bug when using paging databases in conjunction
with the osgDB::Registry Object Cache. This threading bug occurs when one thread gets an object from the Cache via an osgDB::read*File() call where only
a pointer to the object is passed back, so taking a reference to the object is delayed till it gets reassigned to a ref_ptr<>, but at the same time another
thread calls a flush of the Object Cache deleting this object as it's referenceCount is now zero. Using osgDB::readREf*File() makes sure the a ref_ptr<> is
passed back and the referenceCount never goes to zero.
To ensure the OSG builds when OSG_PROVIDE_READFILE is to OFF the many cases of osgDB::read*File() usage had to be replaced with a ref_ptr<> osgDB::readRef*File()
usage. The avoid this change causing lots of other client code to be rewritten to handle the use of ref_ptr<> in place of C pointer I introduced a serious of
templte methods in various class to adapt ref_ptr<> to the underly C pointer to be passed to old OSG API's, example of this is found in include/osg/Group:
bool addChild(Node* child); // old method which can only be used with a Node*
tempalte<class T> bool addChild(const osg::ref_ptr<T>& child) { return addChild(child.get()); } // adapter template method
These changes together cover 149 modified files, so it's a large submission. This extent of changes are warrent to make use of the Object Cache
and multi-threaded loaded more robust.
