I'm writing a public api for a product which will be bundled as a precompiled dll or binary and one of my goals is binary compatibility template<typename T> class MyClass { public: T foo(); private: boost::shared_ptr impl; };

Use boost::intrusive_ptr<> and make sure the intrusive_ptr_add_ref(T) and intrusive_ptr_release(T) are implemented _inside_ your DLL.

That is about as stable binary interface as boost::shared_ptr. Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
