Public bug reported:

the initialise of autopointer calls reset. This calls the
ReferenceCounter::reset()->refCount set to 0. Then the reference is set
to _ref. which will never be deleted. Is this intensional so that the
pointer is NOT deleted?

The name autopointer is misleading for a Reference Counted Autopointer.
I suggest refactoring the name to RCAutoPointer at least
