Hi
I am updating a CxxWrap-based wrapper for a C++ library from Julia 1.0 and CxxWrap 0.8.1 - with succesful unit tests - and a dev container - to Julia 1.6 (1.3+) and the latest released CxxWrap, 0.11.2: https://github.com/IHPSystems/pylon_julia_wrapper
Now, I am getting some errors I do not quite know how to debug - it looks like some finalizers are accessing invalid memory (the errors do not crash the Julia process though):

The wrapper is wrapping a couple of methods that return and take pointers to abstract C++ interfaces, IPylonDevice*, which gives off a warning when wrapping the abstract C++ interface “data type”: I am wondering whether that may be the source of error:

[build] 6 warnings generated.
But I also get these finalizer errors when I just pass void* (6 errors) instead of IPylonDevice* (3 errors):

The wrapper has to work around a blocking C++ call, in order to get/wait for frames from a camera without blocking the Julia thread, so it spins up a C++ std::thread, but this C++ thread is only interacting with the Julia runtime by calling uv_async_send: https://github.com/IHPSystems/pylon_julia_wrapper/blob/master/src/pylon_wrapper.cpp#L51
Any ideas for resolving warnings or getting rid of the errors?
