Hi,

I have problem with pointer in function return. My code:

using namespace boost::python;

v8::Platform* InitializePlatform() {
    v8::Platform* platform = v8::platform::CreateDefaultPlatform();
    return platform;
}

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello)
{
    def("InitializePlatform", InitializePlatform,
return_value_policy<manage_new_object>());
}

Python code:

import hello
x = hello.InitializePlatform()

Building is ok, but when i try call InitializePlatform i have error:
Segmentation fault

gdb:

(gdb) run test.py
