Status of boost::make_shared_array
Hi, What's the status of boost::make_shared_array? I've seen some discussion from 2009, but it's almost 2012 now and it doesn't appear to be available. Greetings, Olaf

I don't have the time now to implement make_shared_array, sorry.

The only way you can help is by implementing it, I guess. Unfortunately, I
Do you have time to review and commit patches? https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4637 has been waiting for over a year.
don't think that this can be done, as in make_shared's case, non-intrusively.
Why is that a problem? Olaf

Hi Olaf, Yes, I can review and apply patches. Regarding #4637, the patch makes the following assumptions: (1) that an array of size 0 should create a NULL pointer, which is not what new T[0] does, and (2) that the array should be value-initialized, which may not be what the majority of the users want. These design decisions should be discussed here among the scoped_array users and settling them is a prerequisite for this patch to go in. Incidentally, you'll need to make these same choices for make_shared_array as well. -----Original Message----- From: Olaf van der Spek Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 20:00 To: boost@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [boost] Status of boost::make_shared_array On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 12:26 AM, Peter Dimov <pdimov@pdimov.com> wrote:

Valid points. Why didn't you raise them in the tracker?

I know. I'll start a thread. Olaf
