No, it cannot. If you want to release ownership, use auto_ptr. In general, you can't destroy the shared_ptr pointer yourself, since you don't know how the shared_ptr has been created.
It seems then that Boost might benefit from an extended auto_ptr implementation. shared_ptr and friends provide for alternative delete functions where as auto_ptr does not. ...Duane
