Hi Sherman,
There isn't any mechanism for tracking Referenced::ref()/unref()
calls. One could add a observer/callback mechanism to do this, but
it'd add an extra if() {} block to all ref()/unref() calls which would
be penalize all objects with the overhead, when only a tiny proportion
of OSG users might need to this on a small number of their objects.
For this type of functionality I would normally build a proxy object
mechanism, where the proxy manages access to the objects data. The
other way would be to manage the compress/uncompress functionality at
a higher level in your app.
Robert.
