  35 /*
  36  * wxVariantData stores the actual data in a wxVariant object,
  37  * to allow it to store any type of data.
  38  * Derive from this to provide custom data handling.
  39  *
  40  * NB: To prevent addition of extra vtbl pointer to wxVariantData,
  41  *     we don't multiple-inherit from wxObjectRefData. Instead,
  42  *     we simply replicate the wxObject ref-counting scheme.
  43  *
  44  * NB: When you construct a wxVariantData, it will have refcount
  45  *     of one. Refcount will not be further increased when
  46  *     it is passed to wxVariant. This simulates old common
  47  *     scenario where wxVariant took ownership of wxVariantData
  48  *     passed to it.
  49  *     If you create wxVariantData for other reasons than passing
  50  *     it to wxVariant, technically you are not required to call
  51  *     DecRef() before deleting it.
  52  *
  53  * TODO: in order to replace wxPropertyValue, we would need
  54  * to consider adding constructors that take pointers to C++ variables,
  55  * or removing that functionality from the wxProperty library.
  56  * Essentially wxPropertyValue takes on some of the wxValidator functionality
  57  * by storing pointers and not just actual values, allowing update of C++ data
  58  * to be handled automatically. Perhaps there's another way of doing this without
  59  * overloading wxVariant with unnecessary functionality.
