Yepp, but I think it's not relevant. Does it guarantee to never throw when used correctly? A lot of exception guarantees expect dtor's to never throw, although in theory they could. asserts (which also includes BOOST_ASSERT) are meant to be never triggered when used correctly, right? So a guarantee like "never throws" always assumes correct usage.
Ok. I take the approach "never throws" actually means "never throws" regardless of usage.
Also, my question is not about the current *implementation* (or any specific implementation at all), but about the *interface* shared_ptrs intends to provide. What happens if I switch to GCC's implementation of std::shared_ptr in the future? Or some other compiler/platform?
Sorry, I thought you were asking about boost::shared_ptr. I did not know that a std::shared_ptr had been defined. If it has, then you would need to look to its documentation. Kevin
