public procedure TRefCountedObject.AddReference;

AddReference and ReleaseReference can be used in threads. However a thread can only call the methods, if either:

The thread already holds a reference (and no other thread will release that reference).
The thread created the reference, and no other thread has access to the object (yet).
The thread is in a critical section, preventing other threads from decreasing the reference count.
