My feeling is that, since scoped_ptr doesn't have release, scoped_array shouldn't either. It seems to me that the whole point of scoped_* is that the ownership cannot be moved elsewhere.
I agree. I use both of these classes for 2 reasons: (1) they delete their objects in any case that they go out of scope (exceptions, too); and (2) I don't have to worry about anyone writing code that will circumvent this behavior (and produce a bug or leak that I will have to find). Please, don't change the behavior of either of these simple and valuable classes. If someone wants anything to change, create a new class or subclass with a different name. -- Dick Hadsell 914-259-6320 Fax: 914-259-6499 Reply-to: hadsell@blueskystudios.com Blue Sky Studios http://www.blueskystudios.com 44 South Broadway, White Plains, NY 10601
