// Ref-counted base class for platform-specific cursors.

// Sub-classes of PlatformCursor are expected to wrap platform-specific cursor
// resources (e.g. HCURSOR on Windows). Those resources also have
// platform-specific deletion methods that must only be called once the last
// cursor is destroyed, thus requiring a ref-counted type.
// While default cursors (all other than kCustom in
// ui/base/cursor/cursor_type.mojom) are used often during any Chrome session
// and could perhaps be kept alive for the duration of the program, custom
// cursors might incur in high memory usage. Because of this, all types of
// cursors are expected to be ref-counted.
