Re: [Boost-users] Macro to contruct/allocate a shared_ptr?

interesting idea having default contructor create a default object Ptr<Test> p1; // default object allocted Ptr<Test> p2(1, 'a', "hello"); Ptr<Test> p3(Ptr<Text>::Null()); // null object p1 = Ptr<Text>::Null(); // reset to null I could even consider an object that can never be null. It would work like a reference counting reference (instead of reference counting pointer). it would also be unbreakable. ie no null missuse. and then as a rule, if more flexibility is needed, then use the shared_ptr interface instead
