I have some non-virtual, shallow-copy safe classes that I cannot change, such as vectors and matrices. I want these to be instantiable objects which are automatically created when they are in-scope and deleted out of scope, without reference counting. I will never reference an object created in script from C++. For example: { // myVec should be created here! Vector3 myVec; myVec.x=0; // myVec should be deleted here! } The problem is, some of my functions return pointers to vectors. Which means I have to use references "@". At first I tried reference counting by adding a refCount via inheritance. But that only works for functions I control. Because when the function returns a pointer to the base class, and not to the derived class, the reference counter doesn't get instantiated. It's not an option to derive/change 200+ functions to return instances of my reference counted class. What I really need is just a reference/pointer to the true class, forget about reference counting. I already tried SetEngineProperty(asEP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_REFERENCES,1) but it won't allow me to make a reference without first registering a function ADD_REF What can I do?
