[pooma-dev] Re: Ref counting

[James Crotinger]

Something else is wrong. Array and Field are just wrappers around
ref-counted engines. Thus there should be no problem doing something like:

   Array<1> foo()
   {
	Array<1> retval(10,10);
	retval = 3;
	return retval;
   }

Memory could be getting stepped on, or he might be returning a reference
instead of a value.
