Yes, I'm interested.
IMHO maximum arity of about 5 isn't too restrictive. Except of this I would like to have an alternative new_ with greater arity which use only const reference forwarding. Non-const referrence parameters can be explicitly wrapped with boost::ref.
I'm confused with syntax. new_<T> always creates auto_ptr<T>. How can I create for example shared_ptr<T>?
auto_ptr<T> is convertible to shared_ptr<T>, so the intention was that you would use that conversion. I have another version where you write new_<shared_ptr<T> >(....) but that just seemed syntactically heavy to little real benefit.
How this is related to auto_overhead?
I have no idea. Nobody ever explained auto_overhead to me in a way that I could understand. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
