It is used in single place, locally in the rowset. It is not part of SOCI public interface. This particular usage, does not really suffer due to auto_ptr issues. If we decide to bump min. required C++ implementation, we will replace it with unique_ptr. > If auto_ptr is bad enough, SOCI doesn't even get that right. Would you care to elaborate it? Are you referring to the pimpl'ed rowset with auto_ptr? > SOCI doesn't use shared_ptr because it doesn't force you to be using it. > There are some features of boost you can optionally use. shared_ptr is > standard in C++11 but we are not C++11 compliant yet. Generally, this has been discussed countless of times, on soci-devel and here too, I guess. If we, the community of users, contributors and developers of SOCI, decide to tighten up relation with Boost, use of boost::shared_ptr will be possible. Alternatively, if min. required C++ implementation is C++03 + TR1, we will get std::tr1::shared_ptr. (Although, I wouldn't mind to jump straight to C++11. :)) Anyhow, as a reminder, SOCI has lost the project manager (For those who missed the announcement, regrettably Maciej has left the project [1], [2]) So, it is not far from truth to consider the project is now community-managed. IMHO, anyone here who wants to step up and take ignite any motion in the SOCI development, be encouraged to do so and let's discuss it here.
