Re: [boost] Why no non-null smart pointers?

I was considering this while I was at the dentist, and I can identify a flaw with my proposal. The "NullObjectTypes < T > :: factory ()" returns a default constructed shared_ptr by default, and if this default version is called from any of the constructor's that detect attempts to enter the shared pointer into a nill internal raw pointer state, then there will be infinite recursion. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Why-no-non-null-smart-pointers-tp2642959p...
