Hi,
I'm just wondering if the deafening silence indicates a lack of interest or whether something else is going on? Feedback would be appreciated.
Dave, I'd like to try using this in the auto_new class I mentioned a while back: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/1862884 The code in boost-sandbox/libs/move/test/move_test.cpp, especially at line 162 containing: moveable_string sink(source()); looks like what I'd like to do with auto_new only instead of a moveable_string sink aond source(), there would be something like: smart_ptr<T,cyclic_ref_count<_> > sink(auto_new(T,a0,a1,...,an)); However, I haven't had time to investigate your code to see if I could use it for this purpose. As it is, I've "rolled my own" variation of the auto_ptr and auto_ptr_ref classes to handle the problem, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting smart_ptr::release and smart_ptr::reset to work. I'll be happy to post the code if you want to see what you can do; however, I'll have to warn you that the code will take some time to decipher.
