Thanks Dave.
The comparison with shared_ptr<> isn't fair. Your ptr has no locking for thread safety. Try defining BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS and re-running the tests, or you risk just measuring the speed of thread sync. Also, I don't see the source for your test. Why don't you include that, so people can compile and run it under different compilers and platforms? Furthermore, I don't see any documentation, except for what few comments exist in the source. It isn't clear where you expect people to use your pointer, or if there are usages that should be discouraged. You don't mention any gotchas that might occur. These are things that should appear in the docs (which you will certainly need if you intend to submit it for review). Basically, it's hard to comment on your design without spending a lot of time reviewing the code. Docs would help. ;) Dave _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
