 43 mike  1.1.2.3 /** The Magic class implements a convenient way to use magic numbers in
 44                   user-defined classes. Magic numbers help detect use of uninitialized, 
 45                   destructed, or corrupted objects.
 46               
 47                   To instrument a class to use magic numbers simply add a class member 
 48                   of type Magic<> as shown in thsi example:
 49               
 50               	\code
 51               	class MyClass
 52               	{
 53               	public:
 54               
 55               	    MyClass();
 56               
 57               	    ~MyClass();
 58               
 59               	    void foo();
 60               
 61               	private:
 62               	    Magic<0xC531B144> _magic;
 63               	};
 64 mike  1.1.2.3 	\endcode
 65               
 66                   Choose whatever number you like for a magic number. The number above was
 67                   generated by the Linux uuidgen utility (Windows has a utility with the 
 68                   same name).
 69               
 70                   To test magic number, add the following expression wherever necessary
 71                   (usually as the first line of every member function).
 72               
 73               	\code
 74               	PEGASUS_ASSERT_DEBUG(_magic);
 75               	\endcode
 76               
 77                   Here's a typical example:
 78               
 79               	\code
 80               	MyClass::~MyClass()
 81               	{
 82               	    PEGASUS_ASSERT_DEBUG(_magic);
 83               	}
 84               	\endcode
 85 mike  1.1.2.3 
 86                   This tests whether the magic number is 0xC531B144 and asserts if it is
 87                   not.
 88               
 89                   Note that using a magic number makes the user-defined class 4 bytes larger
 90                   but there is no run-time overhead unless you compile with PEGASUS_DEBUG.
 91                   The Magic constructor and destructor are empty without PEGASUS_DEBUG and
 92                   are discarded by the compiler.
 93               
 94                   CAUTION: You may be tempted to compile out the magic member when
 95                   PEGASUS_DEBUG undefined. However, this will causes unpredictable
 96                   behavior when debug libraries are mixed with non-debug libraries. The
 97                   structure alignment and size will be different and will lead to crashes.
 98                   This is only safe if a class is internal to a library.
