Previous iterations of this class have been used in VMWare driver infrastructure, all of Microsoft WRL library (as an improvement over its original CComPtr), and more

This sounds like you're saying WRL and VMWare are using "a previous version of out_ptr", but this is not the case - e.g. WRL doesn't use "out_ptr". You mean they're using "something like out_ptr" (but tuned to a specific need). e.g. WRL's CComPtr is specific for COM usage. JeanHeyd Meneide wrote:

That's why multiple companies with large C legacies have used it with the already enormous success that are smart pointers.

Is this referring to "out_ptr" here or again, something like it? Glen
