Thanks for input it does serve me well for some of the cases (where a single copy is required). However I face similar problem for shared_ptr as well. When ref count is 0 it will only call delete. Is there a way I can add mine? Regards, Rahul On Sun, Dec 9, 2012 at 5:34 PM, Arpan Sen <arpansen@gmail.com> wrote:

why not just use unique_ptr with custom deleter function?

Hi All, This is my first post though so please bear with my sentences.

I have used scoped_ptr but this is too tied with new/delete semantics i.e. can't use it with pointers which gets allocated from specialized memory area.

class AManager { public: A * allocate(); void deallocate(A * p); };

class A { ..... };

This specially happens when I use scoped pointer for C like pointers/allocator:

Can I modify scoped pointer to have release semantics which is user defined:

template<typename T> class DefaultReleasePolicy { static void releaseA(T * p) { delete p; } };

class ReleaseAPolicy { static void releaseA(A * p) { AManager::getInstance()->deallocate(p); } };

template<typename T,typemame ReleasePolicy = DefaultReleasePolicy<T> > class ScopedPtrModified { ~ScopedPtrModified() { ReleasePolicy::release(m_ptr);

} };

Is this fine? Let me know your thoughts.

Regards, Rahul
