Does anyone know why 'boost::shared_array<>' was not made part of C++11, since pretty much all the other smart pointers were?

Even in Boost, as of 1.53.0, shared_ptr is a better alternative than shared_array<T>. We just need to get Boost's shared_ptr and shared_ptr to be part of the future standard (instead of adding shared_array to the future standard).

Actually its already supported, but you'll need a custom deleter: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8624146/c11-standard-scoped-array-wrapper... Still, shared_array might offer the better interface... kind regards, Jens Weller
