Well, they are not something different in C++ :-) If you don't want to try your own refcounting, please, please tell me that the only allowed form of usage of the class will be cdef CppClass* obj Allowing cdef CppClass obj in any form and requiring a manual delete would be very confusing and difficult to remember. (That's what I mean by refcounting -- I imagined the difference between these two syntaxes would be that the latter of these would be refcounted; and subject for automatic stack-allocation-optimization.)
