I would say one of the disadvantages of manual/smart ptr memory management is slowness. GC, OTOH is fast. To qoute Herb Sutter: "The only thing making .net run faster is GC".
Indeed but this is a processor speed issue since the time taken is constant as far as the smart pointer is concerned but GC still needs halting the application to collect once in a while if the GC heap isn't large enough.
Maybe so, but you can either provide both or add
make_shifted_alloc<T>( a, ... )
No problem, but if this isn't defined yet perhaps "new_shifted<A>(...)" can be used instead because "make" is a prefix used for temporary objects allocated on the stack.
No but I see memory leaks and a huge consumption of memory ;)
Oh, yes, I have actually moved away from FF because of this.
Hahaha. I wouldn't want to miss anything this time so anybody please CC me for any question. Regards, -Phil
