vector< boost::shared_ptr<A> > aVector;
aFunc(aVector[0]) ; // just call a
My question is should I change the function parameter of aFuncion from this:
void aFunc(A* aPtr) { // access aPtr }
to this:
void aFunc(shared_ptr<A> aPtr) { // access aPtr }
[Nat] Looks reasonable to me... I believe the docs say that it's conventional to pass shared_ptr by value rather than (e.g.) const reference so that the ref count will be adjusted properly.
Thanks. But what if I have void aFunc(const A* aPtr) { // access aPtr } should I change it to void aFunc(const shared_ptr<A> aPtr) { // access aPtr }
