Hi all,

I am encountering an issue with a CullVisitor object not being properly deleted 
in version 3.4.0.  I am encountering this issue when updating from version 
3.0.1.

The source of the problem is a failed Referenced to CullVisitor dynamic cast 
that occurs in the code below...

        virtual void objectDeleted(void* object)
        {
            osg::Referenced* ref = reinterpret_cast<osg::Referenced*>(object);
            osgUtil::CullVisitor* cv = dynamic_cast<osgUtil::CullVisitor*>(ref);
            OpenThreads::ScopedLock<OpenThreads::Mutex> lock(_mutex);
            RenderStageMap::iterator itr = _renderStageMap.find(cv);
            if (itr!=_renderStageMap.end())
            {
                _renderStageMap.erase(cv);
            }
        }

The call stack at the time of the failed cast is the following...

[cid:image001.png@01D1B4EE.430210C0]

The cv pointer is NULL following the cast.  My suspicion is that the dynamic 
cast is failing because we are in the destructor of our own object that 
inherits the OSG CullVisitor object.  I tested this suspicion by confirming 
that the same dynamic cast will succeed in application code if done immediately 
before invoking the destructor of our version of the CullVisitor.  This issue 
is blocking our update to 3.4.0 since it causes numerous unit test failures.

Any suggestions on how to address this issue?

I created the hack below to temporary bypass the problem...

        virtual void objectDeleted(void* object)
        {
            osg::Referenced* ref = reinterpret_cast<osg::Referenced*>(object);
            osgUtil::CullVisitor* cv = dynamic_cast<osgUtil::CullVisitor*>(ref);
            OpenThreads::ScopedLock<OpenThreads::Mutex> lock(_mutex);
            if (cv != NULL)
            {
                RenderStageMap::iterator itr = _renderStageMap.find(cv);
                if (itr!=_renderStageMap.end())
                {
                    _renderStageMap.erase(cv);
                }
            }
            else
            {
               for(RenderStageMap::iterator itr = _renderStageMap.begin();
                   itr != _renderStageMap.end();
                   ++itr)
               {
                   osg::Referenced* tmpRef = 
dynamic_cast<osg::Referenced*>(itr->first);
                   if (ref==tmpRef)
                   {
                        cv = itr->first;
                       _renderStageMap.erase(cv);
                       break;
                   }
               }
            }
        }

Thanks,
Rick
