There is no boost::shared_ptr<> in your example. "Collin Peters" wrote in message news:aqc015$n3p$1@main.gmane.org...

http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm states that: "Normally, a shared_ptr cannot correctly hold a pointer to a dynamically allocated array. See shared_array for that usage."

What I hope to use shared_ptr for, is to store pointers to a class in a vector, and that class will also have a vector that stores pointers via shared_ptr.

example:

class Foo { int a; }

class one { int var1; int var2; std::vector<Foo> foo_vector; }

class two { std::vector<one> one_vector; }
