Any derived class of CObject. It's more a generic interrogation of mine
rather than a concret case.
( I used the term 'object' more in a cpp sense of it than in a 'object"
in the scene ).

Hmm, I'll have to have a second thought about it then.
Allways having hard time to choose to right english words, I think what
describe better my interrogation is:
Can a CRef instance 'take ownership' of a referenced Object ( another
instance in the cpp sense ) ?
Or is just a 'pointer'.
But I use the term 'pointer' carefully in reference to some 'smart
pointers' wich can take ownership. So depending on the design of the
smart pointer it can have owner ship of a multi referenced ( and counted
) instance, while being, from the coder point of view, 'just' a pointer.
Not sure how CRef handle this internaly.
( or if it is just 'none of its business' if you see what I mean ).

OK, but how XSI would delete an object without telling anyone about it?
That would be quite mean of him :-)

Kinematics...?
I would say that the SDK provides an interface to the object, and if
the object is not here, the interface becomes invalid...
I would vote 'no' to your question.
I would be curious to see what's the real behavior, though!

Yeah that's why I said:
"../.. ( by XSI, not the user ) ../.."
If I delete it myself I would understand the CRef becomes invalid :-)
But imagine that this object was refering ( by 'him' only ) to some
'information', and I got a CRef on that 'information' elsewhere.
If that object got deleted, the 'information' needed by the object
would
be logicaly deleted - as nobody need it anymore - but now that I got a
CRef on it, it must be 'kept alive' right ? Or 'reference counted' ?.
I mean, I'm pretty sure I can answer 'yes' to my own question but
there
might be subtle cases ( or problems ? ) where it is not the case.
I just
wanted to know if it is guaraned or not.
Oh well, I will see it soon enough if there are problems, I guess. ;-)
Cheers
