The returned value "ret" may be nullptr in which case the code would crash because "object_get_instance_binding" can't be called on nullptr input.
This should be very easy to reproduce, I encountered it pretty much any time I called a method that returned Ref<Something>. E.g.:
Ref<GeometryInstance3D> instance;
instance.instantiate();
instance.get_mesh(); // Crash because no mesh was set for the instance and the returned value was nullptr.
This makes sure custom constructors are always called on extension
classes. However, note that constructors should not take any parameters,
since Godot doesn't support that. Parameters are ignore in memnew macro.
Use memnew(MyClass()) instead of memnew(MyClass) since it now needs a
value instead of a class name. This macro calls MyClass::_new() (define
in GDCLASS macro) which ultimately calls Godot to create the object,
ensuring that both the Godot and the extension instances are created.
Non Godot classes (that don't derive godot::Object) are constructed as
usual an can have parameters.
memdelete is also changed for the same reason, as it needs to destroy
the Godot object as well, and that automatically frees the bound
extension instance.
