Hi there, I'm very much in support of new_<>, it seems like an excellent addition. But... ...might it be better for new_<> to return a unique_ptr [1] rather than an auto_ptr? You'd get static custom deleter support (which shared_ptr could then store as a dynamic deleter) : shared_ptr<T> p = new_<T, null_deleter>(); (I'm not sure how you'd initialise the deleter) and array support as well : shared_array<T> collection = new_<T[10]>(); (you'd have to disable unique_ptr<T[]> conversion to shared_ptr, but allow shared_array conversion) Sam [1] N1856 <http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1856.html#Addition%20-%20Class%20template%20unqiue_ptr> http://tinyurl.com/gchu9
