  \class SoBase SoBase.h Inventor/misc/SoBase.h
  \brief The SoBase class is the top-level superclass for a number
  of class-hierarchies.
  \ingroup general

  SoBase provides the basic interfaces and methods for doing reference
  counting, type identification and import/export. All classes in Coin
  which uses these mechanisms are descendent from this class.

  One important issue with SoBase-derived classes is that they should
  \e not be statically allocated, neither in static module memory nor
  on function's stack-frames. SoBase-derived classes must \e always be
  allocated dynamically from the memory heap with the \c new operator.

  This is so because SoBase-derived instances are reference counted,
  and will self-destruct on the approriate time. For this to work,
  they must be explicitly allocated in heap-memory. See the class
  documentation of SoNode for more information.
*/

// FIXME: There's a lot of methods in SoBase used to implement VRML
// support which are missing.
//
// UPDATE 20020217 mortene: is this FIXME still correct?

// FIXME: One more thing missing: detect cases where we should
// instantiate SoUnknownEngine instead of SoUnknownNode.

  \fn SoType SoBase::getTypeId(void) const

  Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class
  inheriting SoBase.  This is used for run-time type checking and
  "downward" casting.

  Usage example:

  \code
  void foo(SoNode * node)
  {
    if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
      SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
      /// [then something] ///
    }
  }
  \endcode


  For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new
  nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to
  be overridden in \e all subclasses. This is typically done as part
  of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is
  usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available
  through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS
  and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes),
  Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

  For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class
  documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class
  groups.
*/

// Note: the following documentation for readInstance() will also be
// visible for subclasses, so keep it general.
/*!
  \fn SbBool SoBase::readInstance(SoInput * in, unsigned short flags)

  This method is mainly intended for internal use during file import
  operations.

  It reads a definition of an instance from the input stream \a in.
  The input stream state points to the start of a serialized /
  persistant representation of an instance of this class type.

  \c TRUE or \c FALSE is returned, depending on if the instantiation
  and configuration of the new object of this class type went ok or
  not.  The import process should be robust and handle corrupted input
  streams by returning \c FALSE.

  \a flags is used internally during binary import when reading user
  extension nodes, group nodes or engines.

  There are 4 bits allocated for each SoBase-object for a bitpattern
  that indicates the object is still "alive". The pattern is changed
  when the object is destructed. If this method is then called after
  destruction, an assert will hit.

  This is used internally in Coin (in for instance SoBase::ref()) to
  try to detect when the instance has been prematurely
  destructed. This is a very common mistake to make by application
  programmers (letting the refcount dip to zero before it should, that
  is), so the extra piece of assistance through the accompanying
  assert() in this method to detect dangling references to the object,
  with subsequent memory corruption and mysterious crashes, should be
  a Good Thing.
