Re: [Boost-users] [Q] scoped_ptr for forward declared classes

V S P:

and still trying to debug why shared_ptr reports mem leaks with Visual Studio.

In general, for us to be able to help, you have to post a complete program that reports a leak. Your previous example was not just heavily abbreviated and used the wrong class names, it also didn't have any uses of shared_ptr at all (although it did have a thread_specific_ptr.) False leak reports are typically caused by static variables whose destructors haven't yet run when the leak report is generated. Try calling .reset() on all static shared_ptr variables before exit and see if the leaks disappear.
