Re: [Boost-users] Memory problem using shared_ptr w/ STL-containers, gcc

Hi,

I have a somewhat peculiar problem concerning the shared_ptr template. I use an STL container to hold several shared_ptr values. When the container is destroyed, all the destructors are called correctly, but the memory is not freed. Furthermore, shared_ptr usage introduces a 100x memory overhead (or more) in my case. Compiler system is GCC.

Does it also happen with libstdc++'s own std::tr1::shared_ptr in ? If it does, you might want to ask the same question on the libstdc++ list. (Testing a simple deque<A> is also worth trying.)
