Hi.
I have written a function in COFFEE to check that a object really exist in the current document(dont a "ghost" object).
Is this function needed in C++?

Code of coffee function:

// *****************************************************************************
// Test, if the object realy exist or not in the current document
// Input:
//           objMain: object to test
// Output:
//           bool: TRUE, if the object found, else FALSE
// *****************************************************************************
boObjectExist (objMain)
{
     var docMain;
     if (typeof(objMain)!=DT_OBJECT) // object dont exist
     {
          return FALSE;
     }
     else
     {
          docMain= objMain->GetDocument();
          if (!instanceof(docMain, BaseDocument)) // is the doc realy a document?
          {
               return FALSE;
          }
          else if (docMain->FindObject(objMain->GetMarker()))
          {
               return TRUE;
          }
          else
          {
               return FALSE;
          }
     }
}

Not sure if this is necessary at all. If you pass an object pointer and this one is a null pointer then it means the object doesn´t exist. Same goes for COFFEE. Maybe I am misunderstanding it? $:\$
