Re: [Boost-users] shared_ptr leaking memory and crashing / gcc 3.4.6

Anybody interested in this or could point me to a different boost list?

Hello,
I figured that shared_ptr (boost 3.4, but I don't think this is really a 
boost problem) will lose memory in the following example
...
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  while (true)
  {
    XRef myX;
    try
    {
      myX = getx();
    }
    catch(...)
    {
    }
  }
}
...
Platform is FreeBSD 6, gcc 3.4.6. It only happens when compiled like 
above (without optimization).
I'm interested in principle in everything concerning shared_ptr, but I'm not 
sure what we can do about this specific case. Maybe report it to the GCC 
Bugzilla? Is 3.4.6 even being maintained?
