Hi, with recently acquired (semi) C++11 compiler (YEY!) I started to think which of BOOST functionality could be replaced by standard counterparts. First obvious candidates are smart pointers. Thing is, there is lots of functions that take boost::shared_ptr<> as arguments (or return them) and it is just not easy to do do. My questions: - does it even make sense to switch to std::shared_ptr<> (should new functions use std instead of boost) - is there a way to easily convert one to another - what are (if any) differences between std and boost versions Regards, Szymon Gatner
