Let's go a bit further. The obvious alternative to shared_ptr here, to me, is not a non-synchronized shared_ptr, but an embedded reference count (no need for separate count synchronization -> no need for separate count). Is there something else that I'm missing that makes intrusive counting unsuitable?
Probably not. The DLL-proof characteristic of shared_ptr appealed to me so I jumped to reuse it. There's always another rewrite waiting in the wings. :-) Thanks for your comments. -Howard
