Re: [OBORONA-SPAM] [Boost-users] delete shared_ptr object???

Rather disturbingly, the following code compiles (at least, with g++-3.3.2):

#include "boost/shared_ptr.hpp" using namespace boost; class X {}; int main() { const shared_ptr<X> y; delete y; }

Normally, when you compile code with delete applied to a non-pointer type, you get a compile-time error. What's going on here?

try this: struct X { operator X*(){ return this; } void operator delete (void *p){} }; int main(int, char*[]) { X x; delete x; }

TIA, Dan. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
