Re: [osg-users] osg::ref_ptr<> used anymore

Hi, Ok, I started this thread, so I claim to have the right for the last words. I have used boost before, it looks like a pretty well maintained library. I used it because I was working on my coworker's code and in our case, he only used the file separator ("\" vs "/") from boost. For that it p

Re: [osg-users] osg::ref_ptr<> used anymore

They do have a type that is somewhat similar to ref_ptr. I have not gone into the details of it to see how much it matches but it does use embedded reference counts. intrusive_ptr On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 9:21 PM, Chris 'Xenon

Re: [osg-users] osg::ref_ptr<> used anymore

Boost only needs to be installed if you use certain features. Shared pointers is not one of those features in which it needs to be installed. That was the point that Ismail was probably trying to bring forward. But boost shared pointers are a different beast from osg's. On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 4

Hi, Thanks for the replies. They really clarified a lot. Looks like for small pointer, it's all or none deal, e.g. it's best to use them every time a reference to the pointed object is needed. Thank you! Cheers, Rabbi -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegrap

I think you'd benefit from looking at some OSG examples (all of which use ref_ptr) and reading the memory management section in the OSG Quick Start Guide (http://stores.lulu.com/pmartz). Paul Martz Skew Matrix Software LLC http://www.skew-matrix.com +1 303 859 9466 ___
