I know if I was writing standard c++ that's what i'd have to do, but I admit that I am a bit lost when it comes to IMP due to the entanglement with python and automatic memory management.
Don't use raw Restraint* to store things in your class. Use IMP::Pointer<Restraint> or IMP::PointerMember<Restraint> (the latter also sets the ownership flag), just like is done for anything else that inherits from IMP::Object. They will handle the necessary reference counting to ensure that your objects stay alive. I'm not sure what you mean by "entanglement with python and automatic memory management" but IMP::Pointer is a pretty simple implementation of a reference counting intrusive smart pointer.
