Re: [Boost-users] [serialization][1.33.0?] xml_iarchive leak
b) If I recall correctly, the borland version of scoped_ptr fails when the type is incomplete - which makes it not useful for implementing the PIMPL idiom.
it always fails unless the destructor is included first in the cpp file IIRC.
Sadly this does not work on BCB even if the destructor is defined in the cpp file, which means that scoped_ptr can't be used for pimpl with this compiler. The details are here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2001/12/21796.php You can of course use shared_ptr, but then the intention is less clear.
