[Boost-users] [boost-users][python] Problem with lifetime of object?

27 Aug 2009

      Hello. I would like to know what's wrong with this:

Object * create() { return new Object(); }

void addToScene(const std::string & name, Object * o)
{
   //Store object in a std::multimap
}

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(mod) {

   def("createObject", &create,
return_value_policy());
   ....

}

I start my application, it works ok and it uses addToScene and create:

Now I try to add a new object to my application from python:
...
...
obj = Object()
addToScene("obj", obj)
Should the problem have anything to do with object lifetime? Or the
segmentation fault is because of another issue?

Thanks in advance.
