The only thing, I think, that I can't prevent, is construction of a new wrapper struct that has a temp_ptr as a member (which is copy constructed in wrapper's constructor). Can anyone think of a way to prevent that?
I'm pretty sure there's no way to do that.
I think anyone that goes out of their way to make a wrapper struct gets what they deserve, so I don't really *need* to prevent all bad uses. But I can aslo imagine someone just using it improperly inside their class due to misunderstanding or whatever.
And thoughts on the goal of specific smart pointers for all occasions?
Sounds interesting; I'd like to know how it turns out for you in practice. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
