        Yes. You do not normally need to bother with reference counts.
        pfMalloc'ed arrays are automatically reference-counted by the
        pfGeoSet. If an array is referenced by multiple geosets, it will
        not be deleted until the last geoset which references it is
        deleted.

        pfDeleteFunc is only for deleting user data specified by pfUserData.
