Re: [boost] [smart_ptr] scoped_array / shared_array (size_t) constructor

Does anyone else have comments / concerns about a (size_t) constructor?

Yes. First, please go to the standards committee and get them to add this to raw pointers: float* ptr = new float[128]; // too much typing! float* ptr(128); // much better! When they have agreed to that, come back here and suggest that scoped_array<> and shared_array<> are updated to match. As I see it, scoped_array<> is the THIN wrapper around a raw pointer that delete[]s it when it goes out of scope. And nothing more. Regards, Phil.
