Ok, I can't hold it :o). It's funny how policy_based smart pointers have been vigurously disapproved by some boost participants for various reasons, yet anytime I log in here there's discussion about a yet another smart_pointer du jour, designed from scratch, and most of the time incompatible with all others. It's not about small advantages it's about. Andrei _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
