Re: Remove Luabind ownership on C++ pointer?

Hold the object in a boost::shared_ptr or some other reference
counting smart_ptr in Lua:
class_<Object, boost::shared_ptr<Object> >("Object")

Then the object will be kept alive as long as another shared_ptr uses
the object in C++. Aka, the instance that is created in Lua will only
release the shared pointer, not destruct the object itself when
garbage collected.

Best regards,
Eduard

Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances
and start using them to simplify application deployment and
accelerate your shift to cloud computing.
