/**
* Helper macros to allow function overloading even when using
* boost::shared_ptr.
*
* shared_ptr makes overloading really annoying, since shared_ptr defines
* constructor methods to allow one shared_ptr type to be constructed from any
* other shared_ptr type. (Even if it would be a compile error to actually try
* to instantiate the constructor.) These macros add an extra argument to the
* function to cause it to only be instantiated if a pointer of type T is
* convertible to a pointer of type U.
*
* THRIFT_OVERLOAD_IF should be used in function declarations.
* THRIFT_OVERLOAD_IF_DEFN should be used in the function definition, if it is
* defined separately from where it is declared.

/**
* A helper functor that can be used as a shared_ptr destructor, but that does
* nothing at all.
*
* This can be used to create a shared_ptr to an object that shouldn't really
* be destroyed when the last shared_ptr to it goes away. This is useful in
* some situations to call thrift APIs that require a shared_ptr argument when
* you have an object on the stack or otherwise owned by some other part of the
* code.
*
* WARNING: If at all possible, please avoid using this class to create
* shared_ptr. Attempting to use shared_ptrs with manually managed objects is
* generally a bad idea. This class should only be used in a few rare cases
* where a temporary shared_ptr is needed, and you can guarantee that all
* shared_ptrs to the object will be destroyed before the object itself is
* destroyed.
