vtk doesn't use thread to do garbage collection. You have too thread running vtk code and your crashes are most likely related to a race condition.<br><br><br> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 14:14:48 -0700<br>Subject: Re: [vtkusers] Help with crashes in VTK<br>From: jonmorra@gmail.com<br>To: xf10036@hotmail.com; david.gobbi@gmail.com<br>CC: vtkusers@vtk.org<br><br>So I was playing around with removing vtkSmartPointers passed by reference to see if that fixed my issue.<div>1. Would passing a vtkSmartPointer by const reference be an issue?</div><div>2. I got the following crash outlined below. It does not reference any code I wrote at all. Also in my debugger it says that there are 2 vtk garbage collection threads running. My understanding of smart pointers is that a garbage collector is unnecessary because if the reference count = 0 then the object is removed. Also, what could cause this crash?</div>

This could make sense, I'm going to try and change all my method signatures to pass around const references to vtkSmartPointers where appropriate. Do you know what happens to the reference count upon returning a vtkSmartPointer?</blockquote>

<div><br></div><div>1) Refcounts are not automatically incremented when objects are returned, i.e. when an object is returned to you, then you are just "borrowing" it. If you need to own it for a while, then store it in a smart pointer.</div>
