It's really not a good idea to mix stack-created objects with reference counting (when the reference count hits zero and the stack-created object is deleted, bad things happen), but if you're *REALLY SURE* that you can be careful about it, *still don't do it*, because eventually someone else will modify your code (it might even be a future you) who won't be as careful.

You must be *REALLY REALLY SURE* to read this far, and if you are, I'll tell you the secret: all you have to do is declare a public destructor for your Adapter class to allow it to be created on the stack. See http://visualcpp.net/index.php?qID=65 for example. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
