Hello,

thanks for your answers. Yes, of course, i looked at the boost smart pointers. But, well, isn't a shared_ptr a shared_ptr because it shares ownership (via ref. counting)? :]

Only if you pass it to another object. It it is a private shared_ptr then it gets automatically deleted, but won't get shared around. But what about scoped_ptr? Cheers Russell
