I have made some changes to the code. You may check it out in my junk+.
Also i have imported RCAutoPointer, which is tried and tested in another
project of mine. Otherwise you can take it from my attachment. I have
also implemented  "operator=(DataType*)" which does essentially the same
thing and it works fine.

Bug description:
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
