if I understand "hard to reason about" in the right why : like there is no need for shared ownership at all, this also means that there is no use for COM Programming - and of course there is.
I think you don't understand it the right way. Shared ownership (at least in the presence of mutation) is hard to reason about because seemingly-local modifications can have non-local effects. Furthermore, your logic seems flawed to me. By analogy: There is no need for Intel processors (we can all use AMD). Therefore there is no use for an Intel processor? -- Dave Abrahams Meet me at BoostCon: http://www.boostcon.com BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
