If that is true then why do they pass the test???
(http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_33_0/user/smart_
ptr_release.html)
a) I don't see any tests of scoped_ptr there.
it is part of smart_ptr_test.cpp.
b) If I recall correctly, the borland version of scoped_ptr fails when the type is incomplete - which makes it not useful for implementing the PIMPL idiom.
it always fails unless the destructor is included first in the cpp file IIRC.
c) I was reluctant to include the whole smart_ptr machinery for just this one case.
I am surprised that the delete in the destructor fails to delete the
ok. pimpl.
I've been unable to find the place where a constructor throws.
ok ... maybe the hypothesis can be checked by Jeff on a compiler where scoped_ptr does work? -Thorsten
