Re: [Boost-users] How to create a smart pointer for a non-growable, size determined by run-time array

std::auto_ptr - no dependency on Boost - but the assignment semantics can be confusing at first - personally, I'd not use this.

I'd just like to point out that std::auto_ptr calls delete, not delete[], on the pointer it wons, so it cannot be used with new[]ed arrays.

Personally, I would tend to use vector

Agreed 100% -- the reason there's no std::auto_array ( or similar ) class is because that's what std::vector is there for. - Scott
