how to prevent objects from being garbage collected.

hi,

is there a way to prevent objects from being destructed by the ruby 
garbage collector or at the end of the script, without having to write 
markfunks for the owner of these objects?

also user defined markfuncs for the containers would not help me with 
the problem at the end of the script, i think.

when ruby exits, all objects will be deleted and their C++ destructors 
get called. if objects that are owned by others (in C++) are deleted 
bevore their owners the owners will try to free them again and that 
leads to memory access errors.

how can i tell ruby to not call the destructor of certain objects??
maybe i didn't understand something right, so please clarify.

any comments are very appreciated!!
thanks,
