shared_ptr - no throw requirement
What's the rational for the requirement that ~pointee() be no throw? Instead of nothrow could it have been specified that shared_ptr functions throw only if ~pointee() throws? This is also something that could go in the docs (assuming I didn't simply miss it). Thanks, Glen [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
the ramifications of having any destructor throw are too horrible to contemplate. Well, maybe not "too horrible" but several articles have been written on the ensuing problems. At Monday 2003-08-18 14:43, you wrote:
