Re: [Boost-users] boost::bind memory leak

2010/11/12 bit bit

problematic example:

class A { public: void func1(){throw bad_alloc();};

void func2() { try { int i; shared_ptr<void> shutdown(static_cast(0), bind(&A::func1, this)); } catch(...) {}; }; };

int main() { A a1; a1.func2(); }

This problem has nothing to do with bind (which doesn't allocate memory). Throwing from a deleter is a no-no (and generally a bad design), since the only time it gets called is by shared_ptr's destructor. Don't do that. This is very likely to be a terminating condition using std::shared_ptr in C++0x.
