I have my own implementation called smart_ptr which is based on smart_ptr and weak_ptr, which is used in pretty much the same way.

public MyClass: public smart_class<MyClass> { ... }

The next Boost release will (likely) contain a similar helper, see:

mart_ptr/enable_shared_from_this.html?rev=1.1

Cool, this is exactly what I was looking for, how long has it been around?

It's a relatively recent addition. You can see the revision history at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost/boost/boost/enable_shar ed_from_this.hpp
