intrusive_ptr will be "official" (read: I finally wrote something resembling a documentation) in the upcoming 1.30. But that's not my point. My point is that you need an intrusive smart pointer. Of course shared_ptr cannot offer this with its non-intrusive design. It never attempted to. The optional intrusive counting "feature" (that's been removed) was offered only as a potential solution to the "shared from this" problem. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
