Im creating the ProxyObject in C++, so i would assume that even using luabind - lua wouldnt try to delete it.

I give the ProxyObject as an arg to my lua functions, somebody could store it as an upvalue somewhere. 

When does lua garbage collect it ? As long as there is still a lua function that wants to access this "empty proxy object" - i doubt it would be garbage collected.

Somebody said you could somehow force it with extending lua _gc table and there do a check everytime the gc runs like if(proxyObject:object==null) // delete somehow the proxyObject

Im not sure tho how this works if you have multiple references to the same object from different env scopes.
