[Insight-users] force to destroy object

[Dan Mueller]

Hi Smauele,

One of great things about ITK is the SmartPointer: as soon as an
object with no references goes out-of-scope, the smart pointer
automagically releases the object.

My advice would be to let the SmartPointer release the object for you;
this will force you to think of a good design in which you maximize
the use of scope to release your objects :P

If this is not possible and/or you prefer the manual approach, after a
cup of coffee and long think try:
    object->SetReferenceCount( 0 );

Please take note of the documentation attached to the SetReferenceCount method:
   Sets the reference count (use with care) // << TAKE NOTE!!

HTH

Cheers, Dan
