I want to know if scoped_refptr<T> is itself thread safe, or do I need to synchronize access to variables of this type.

Note: I don't mean T, I mean the pointer object itself.

Refcounting and assignment is thread-safe if you use the IMPLEMENT_RFCOUNTING macro or RefCountedThreadSafe base class. Anything that you do with T from multiple threads will need to be protected by a lock or similar.

Thank you.
