Also, how do people feel about using Boost.Atomic underneath
shared_ptr? (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5625 - again, I've been using this for a long time and it seems to work.) Maybe as a non-default initially if we're nervous. It might help to find any bugs in Boost.Atomic... In general I welcome this suggestion. However, shared_ptr probably should not require linking to Boost.Atomic, so some header-only mode should be provided by Boost.Atomic first.
i guess boost.atomic could be extended to work on all platforms that are currently supported by shared_ptr. the required subset could the be header-only ... tim
