No, this is not inherently bad per se. It's just not what checked_deleter is supposed to do, according to its current specification. It is documented to invoke "delete p", not to call checked_delete. It is an implementation detail (having something to do with HP aCC if I recall correctly but I may be wrong) that checked_deleter is implemented in terms of checked_delete. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
