Uses release ordering for the decrement to ensure all writes to the object are visible before the count reaches zero.

    Detailed Description

    Describes an infinite line. A line is defined and positioned in space with an axis (gp_Ax1 object) which gives it an origin and a unit vector. The Geom_Line line is parameterized: P (U) = O + U*Dir, where:

    • P is the point of parameter U,
    • O is the origin and Dir the unit vector of its positioning axis. The parameter range is ] -infinite, +infinite [. The orientation of the line is given by the unit vector of its positioning axis.
