Just started learning AngelScript and not quite clear on how the reference counting works in AngelScript. Let's say we have a class defined in C++:

class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass()
: m_RefCount(1)
{
// Init stuff.
}

~MyClass()
{
// Free stuff.
}

static *MyClass Factory();
void AddRef();
void Release();

protected:
int m_RefCount;
};

Then we register it with AngelScript:

Engine->RegisterObjectType("MyClass", 0, asOBJ_REF);
Engine->RegisterObjectBehaviour("MyClass", asBEHAVE_FACTORY, "MyClass@ f()", asFUNCTION(Name::Factory), asCALL_CDECL);
Engine->RegisterObjectBehaviour("MyClass", asBEHAVE_ADDREF, "void f()", asMETHOD(MyClass, AddRef), asCALL_THISCALL);
Engine->RegisterObjectBehaviour("MyClass", asBEHAVE_RELEASE, "void f()", asMETHOD(MyClass, Release), asCALL_THISCALL);

Now I'm able to use the class in a script:

void main()
{
MyClass obj;

// Do something with the object.
}

After the object is created, the reference count is set to 1 by the constructor and remains unchanged. What I expected to happen is when 'main' finishes and 'obj' goes out of scope, the object should be destroyed, but it's not, the destructor is never called. Am I supposed to register the destructor? Or is it by design and the object has to be registered as asOBJ_VALUE for the destructor to be called automatically (I'd prefer to leave it as asOBJ_REF)? What is the best way to handle the destruction in this case?

Thanks!

Never mind, was probably some stuck binary from previous build. Rebuilt the project and now the destructor gets called. Still would like to get a confirmation that the object management I described is "proper" in AngelScript context.
