Category: smart_ptr Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Peter Dimov (pdimov) Summary: shared_ptr/weak_ptr tests are not C++ spec compliant Initial Comment: Please refer to the latest C++ spec (Second edition, 2003-04-01), section 12.8.15, "Copying class objects". Look at your source code in test/weak_ptr_test.cpp. 1. You cannot assume the reference count of the shared_ptr going into the copy_assignment function is one. The spec says that compilers are allowed to make an optimization to eliminate a copy, but not mandated to do so. This means that the effective reference count upon entry to the function may be two, not one. To correct your unit tests, forcibly create a local object that you pass by value to guarantee the reference count is two upon entry for all compilers.
