    bool IsKind (const char *const theTypeName) const
     Returns true if this is an instance of TypeName or an instance of any class that inherits from TypeName. Note that multiple inheritance is not supported by OCCT RTTI mechanism.
    Standard_TransientThis () const
     Returns non-const pointer to this object (like const_cast). For protection against creating handle to objects allocated in stack or call from constructor, it will raise exception Standard_ProgramError if reference counter is zero.
    int GetRefCount () const noexcept
     Get the reference counter of this object.
    void IncrementRefCounter () noexcept
     Increments the reference counter of this object. Uses relaxed memory ordering since incrementing only requires atomicity, not synchronization with other memory operations.
    int DecrementRefCounter () noexcept
     Decrements the reference counter of this object; returns the decremented value. Uses release ordering for the decrement to ensure all writes to the object are visible before the count reaches zero. An acquire fence is added only when the count reaches zero, ensuring proper synchronization before deletion. This is more efficient than using acq_rel for every decrement.
    virtual void Delete () const
     Memory deallocator for transient classes.

    Detailed Description
