Is this a performance issue? Not every class is reference counted, and it's not like a reference-counted pointer which requires a lot of bookkeeping and junk to make sure all the counts are up-to-date. I don't object to turning it off during opt, just wondering if there was a big slowdown for your code. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
