shared_ptr (or Boost.SmartPointers in general) is not unmaintained, and is not deprecated. It actually has been evolving past the C++11 std::shared_ptr. For example, boost::shared_ptr supported array forms in 1.53 and this was eventually added to C++ in C++17. (Interesting aside: That functionality above was even, and still is used, in certain Microsoft projects, where boost::shared_ptr is used instead of std::shared_ptr). The same goes for other Boost libraries like Boost.Thread. They: - May have features not in the C++ standard library equivalent - May be evolving past the current C++ standard - Are in use by actual projects and shouldn't be removed Glen -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/review-queue-What-to-do-about-the-library...
