What is the right way to create a class instance and a return it as a
pointer? Also in such a way that it is not claimed by GC. There is
another callback for object deletion.

Why would you want to return an object as a pointer? All classes are 
reference types. But if you actually do want to return an object as a 
pointer you can just cast it to void*.
