[CONNECT C++] GetPickListLibFromDgn fails

Question

These two lines of code build OK but cause an Internal Error: Access Violation at runtime &hellip; 
 PickListLibrary lib;
PickListLibrary::GetPickListLibFromDgn (ISessionMgr::GetActiveDgnFile (), lib);
 
 struct PickListLibrary : public RefCountedBase tells us that PickListLibrary is a reference-counted class. I would expect there to be a static public Create() method to get a smart pointer ( PickListLibraryPtr) . However, there's no MakeAbstract() or other means in the class declaration to make PickListLibrary abstract. 
 Non-intuitively, the following does work... 
 PickListLibraryP lib { PickListLibrary::CreatePickListLibrary () };
PickListLibrary::GetPickListLibFromDgn (ISessionMgr::GetActiveDgnFile (), *lib);
 // Use lib->Xxx() 
 // delete lib? 
 
 But what do I have: a normal pointer or a smart pointer? That is, should I delete lib or not?

Hi Jon, 
 The change will be released in Update 13. 
 There won&rsquo;t be code like: PickListLibrary lib; //This line will cause compiling error 
 or 
 PickListLibraryP lib { PickListLibrary::CreatePickListLibrary () }; 
 It must be: PickListLibraryPtr pickListLib = PickListLibrary::CreatePickListLibrary(); 
 
 Thanks & Regards, 
 Colin
