Detailed Description

Class PointerBase is a base class used by template class PointerRef<TYPE> for type-safe conversion between non-const pointer types. It is a subclass of ConstPointerBase. Since the non-const pointer class only takes this as a base class (and not the const pointer base class), const pointers cannot be converted into non-const pointers.
