(a) is a valid concern, OTOH shared_ptr is such a low level component of Boost that -- as careful as I am in avoiding physical coupling -- I don't consider it a real dependency; rather, it's a tool for avoiding dependencies.
Any reason for not using intrusive_ptr? Shared_ptr may be a low level part of Boost, but I'm not sure it should be lower level than this library. A library like this is overdue in my opinion.
I don't have a particular reason for not using intrusive_ptr. I also don't have a particular reason not to use shared_ptr. Emil Dotchevski
