May I ask what is the level of understanding of block_ptr in percentage?
I don't know how "percentage" could be applied here but the following is how I understand it: 1. from the interface and behaviour expectations point of view, it's exactly like shared_ptr. (is there a weak_ptr too?) 2. however the implementation is made so that cycles are not a problem, they are destroyed in a deterministic way; All the rest is confuse to me so far, but then I have a quesiton: Can block_ptr be considered as a specific implementation of shared_ptr which allows cycles? If yes, what are the costs for the user, compared to shared_ptr? Joel Lamotte
