Re: [boost] [Root Pointer] Ultimate test - Neural Network

Hi,

I wrote a small utility that reads PDFs over the Internet and converts the text into a tree of regular expressions. The goal here is to test root_ptr<> and see if it will stand up to this complexity.

The code is very simple for the moment as you can see: https://github.com/philippeb8/root_ptr/blob/master/example/t100_test1.cpp

I'm probably missing something... but isn't this kind of use enabled much more easily by using list<node> for the root and ordinary node* for the internal pointers? Once the list is destroyed everything is swept away, no need for smart pointers of any kind?
