cv::Mat.refcount Missing in OpenCV 3.0

Question

The following works in OpenCV 2.4.9:

cv::Mat TestMat(3,3,CV_32F);
int RefCount = *TestMat.refcount;

How do I accomplish the same thing in OpenCV 3.0.0b?

Answer 1

int RefCount = TestMat.u ? (*TestMat.u->refcount) : 0;

The reference counter is hiddent in UMatData u field. See https://github.com/jet47/opencv/blob/master/modules/core/include/opencv2/core/mat.hpp#L455 for UMatData declaration.
