This is the situation with the GTK+ port now. The GTK+ port simply adds template specializations for GObject types in the GRefPtr.h header and the Cairo code includes template specializations for Cairo types. >> We'd like to share the same templated class for all of these smart pointers >> to avoid duplicate code. > If this is the goal, there are multiple ways to achieve it.

I'd be happy to embark on this. > Making one class that is one of these three based on a compile-time setting > does not seem like the right way to go to me. It does not use compile-time settings, but template specialization. Sorry if I misrepresented that.
