I come to know that when many objects shares same data and creation and desturction of objects are expensive then one can go for reference counting .
Can anybody give input about how to achieve it for the library class which cant be changed ?.
Use a referenced-counted pointer like
boost::shared_ptr. No changes to the class pointed to are necessary, but you will be limited to creating class instances dynamically.
