So would auto_ptr<T,D> in some of my code. In particular, auto_ptr<T,D&>.

Proposals to add features to scoped_ptr or scoped_array have been discussed in the past. Fortunately (for me), the bottom line has been to keep these objects light. If adding a deleter would require storing a pointer, then it increases its memory usage, and that makes it heavy. If you want to add features, you could create a variation of these classes, but I'll reiterate my request to keep the scoped_ classes light. (I don't care about auto_ptr at the moment.) -- Dick Hadsell 914-259-6320 Fax: 914-259-6499 Reply-to: hadsell@blueskystudios.com Blue Sky Studios http://www.blueskystudios.com 44 South Broadway, White Plains, NY 10601
