Hey Shmelev,
Amazing! That's exactly what I want! Stupid me, I didn't think of this at all. Instead I was just trying shared_array of shared_ptrs:

shared_array< shared_ptr<int>* > palette (new shared_ptr<int>* [5]);

It never occurred to me to use shared_array inside too :) Also, I learned the usage of reset in smart
pointers. Now it works like a charm. Once again, thanks a lot. Solves a lot of headache, phew!

Regards

Sundaram

I guess, you need shared_array of shared_array<int>.

Something like:
shared_array<shared_array<int>> palette (new shared_array<int>[5]);
palette[0].reset(new int[10]);
