Re: [Boost-users] pimpl and boost

And another pitfal with both auto_ptr and shared_ptr (at least on VC7.1 compiler) is if you don't provide expicit destructor, the generated destructor will try destroy the auto_ptr, which in its turn will try to destroy you pimpl via imcomplete pointer, therefor not calling destructor.

shared_ptr will call the destructor in this case.
