I miss a custom destructor version of shared_from_this. The only one function just accepts a pointer and construct a shared_ptr from it. Should shared_from_this also match shared_ptr's constructor that takes a pointer and it's destructor function object, or the lack of it is a design decision?
I need the following (something like it): struct drawobj_deleter { void operator()(const CDrawObj* pObj) const { DeleteDrawObj(pObj); } }; main() { shared_ptr<CDrawObj> pObj = shared_from_this(new CDrawObj, drawobj_deleter()); } I know I could use de constructor directly, but I prefer using shared_from_this because this way it's more explicit that we're "crossing the boundary" between raw pointer and smart_pointer. rod. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
