I notice that the creation of a new object for the scoped pointer has
been
done before the MyClass constructor. However you can't declare the
scoped
pointer as a member variable and then do something like this in a
method:

Why is that?

You can do this:
Change that to return a reference to the ptr:
boost::scoped_ptr<int>& newObject()
   {
       ptr.reset( new int );
       *ptr = 0;
       return ptr;
   }
Or
void newObject()
   {
       Ptr.reset( new int );
       *ptr = 0;
   }
I never realised scoped_ptr had a reset() method! I knew auto_ptr did.

UberMongoose - ignore my earlier reply.
