## Detailed Description

### template<typename T = class AbstractQoreNode>
class ReferenceHolder< T >

a templated class to manage a reference count of an object that can throw a Qore-language exception when dereferenced

the destructor will call deref(ExceptionSink *)

ReferenceHolder<QoreQFont> holder(self->getReferencedPrivateData(CID_QFONT, xsink), xsink);
// the call to deref(ExceptionSink *) is automatic when the object goes out of scope
if (*xsink)
return 0;
return holder->styleHint();
