Hi,

    I (with Ron's help) just found out C++ was flawless and I would like to
propose ptr.hpp:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/ptr/

    Why I am proposing it to comp.std.c++?  Because only the compiler can
determine if the classes are polymorphic or not and could instanciate the
proper partly specialized ptr_base<> by itself.  reinterpret_cast<>s will
still be possible because sizeof(ptr_base<T, simple_tree>) ==
sizeof(ptr_base<T, complex_tree>) and the allocated pointee uses the same
header; only get_count() & reset() members differ.



Regards,

Philippe A. Bouchard

Hi,

    I would like to propose ptr.hpp as a global smart pointer:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/ptr/

    Why I am proposing it to comp.std.c++?  Because only the compiler can
determine if the classes are polymorphic or not and could instanciate the
proper partly specialized ptr_base<> by itself.  reinterpret_cast<>s will
still be possible because sizeof(ptr_base<T, simple_tree>) ==
sizeof(ptr_base<T, complex_tree>) and the allocated pointee uses the same
header; only get_count(), reset() & ~ptr() members differ.

    What do you think?
