Now that I think about it, it can be implemented both ways. A slot that requires an explicit lock() before operator() would still need the .track. A slot that throws bad_weak_ptr from operator() would not. This brings us back to the problem of autodisconnects only happening on calls. :-/ It doesn't have to be either-or, though.

Yes, I was assuming an explicit lock(), and perhaps exposing the tracked object list read-only for efficiency, which would allow multiple slots to be locked at once without creating a separate container for each slot. -- Frank
