well, i just tried to compile the shared_new_test.cc, but it failed using vc71 and vc8 (boost 1.33.1). anyway, its quite similiar to the code Roman Perepelitsa posted.

a short example using his newptr:

struct X { X( int _x, double _y, const std::string & _z ) { ... } }

shared_ptr<X> x = newptr<X>(42, 42.0, "hello world"); _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
