It seems that rather than take the route of modifying all the standard containers one might as well just provide a special operator new(gc) and gc_allocator that can track all the memory blocks on the heap that might contain a shared_ptr. Then one can either replace global operator new with the special one, or use new(gc) or gc_allocator wherever needed.
I'm assuming that the advantage of the suggested method over Boehm's collector would be the precision? I.e. no false pointers are possible?
