Re: [Boost-users] shared_ptr as reference argument

//possible misuse void foo() {      Bar bar;      shared_ptr<int> ptr = shared_ptr<int>(new int(10));

     bar.set(ptr); } //  BOOM!!! => ptr is destroyed before the Bar::~Bar() is called

If you do not program real time soft, it is probably always better to copy sp.

In your example, how would the behavior change, if Bar::set would take the pram by value?
