What is the preferred way to initialise a pointer to a
tie-class?
And how do I maintain this pointer safely?

Ex:
Tie-class: _tie_A<A_i*,false>
Impl-class: A_i

class A_i
{
    // some defs......
    _tie_A< A_i*,false >* _p;
};

A_i::A_i()
{
   _p = NULL // Alright?
}

A_i::InterfaceFactory()
{
  if ( CORBA::is_nil(_p->-this()) ) // Is this the safe way
to check
                                   //for a valid interface
through the tie pointer?
  {
     try
     {
          _p = new _tie_A<A_i*,false>(this);
          boa->obj_is_ready(_p);
      }
     catch( bad_alloc)
     {
        _p = ?  // What do I initialise it to so that the
above “is_nil”
                    //check is safe?
     }
  }// end if
}// end factory function

Any comments?
