Hello,
in 2 other threads I had questions partly related to shared_ptr.
I changed my normal pointers to a class to shared_ptr. (i.e.
boost::shared_p tr).
I thought, the use of shared_ptr is more save. But after this my program
crashed by several reasons (see below). But maybe there would be an easy
solution which I cannot see now.
1) I mixed normal pointers and shared _ptr at some places. This is very
ugly, for example:
class A;
shared_ptr<A> a = new A;
A * p = a.this();
{
shared_ptr<A> a2 = p;
} // the object will be deleted here!!!
a->f(); // crash?
Question: Is it possible to make that a shared_ptr can only be initialised
by another shared_ptr or by the new expression?
2) shared_from_thi s():
template enable_shared_f rom_this cannot be used in a class with 2 instances
of the same base class?
In my hierarchy, I have the same base class twice in one object
(non-virtual). As this base class has boost::enable_s hared_from_this <> as
Base again, I cannot compile (ambigous...).
Maybe I could circumvent this by making one Baseclass a virtual base class.
But wasn't there a restriction by using virtual base classes? (As far as I
can remember it was something with RTTI or with casts).
I know that 2 base classes is not a good idea, but there was a problem by
using virtual inheritance.
Greetings

Don't do the above - the code won't compile on a conforming compiler.
Instead, do:
shared_ptr<A> a(new A);
A * p = a.this(); { shared_ptr<A > a2 = p; } // the object will be deleted here!!! a->f(); // crash?
Question: Is it possible to make that a shared_ptr can only be initialised by another shared_ptr or by the new expression?
No, but using a conforming compiler prevents most mistakes (due to the
explicit T* constructor). Initializing a shared_ptr with a pointer
that hasn't just been newed in the same expression is almost always a
mistake, but if you know that, it's a hard mistake to make. Unless
your compiler has a bug that enables the implicit conversion, in which
case it is quite an easy mistake.

Right. Maybe I could circumvent this by making one Baseclass a virtual base class. But wasn't there a restriction by using virtual base classes? (As far as I can remember it was something with RTTI or with casts).
Virtual inheritence has a small amount of overhead associated with it,
but no other problems that I can think of (other than having to
initialize the virtual base in the most derived class).
I know that 2 base classes is not a good idea, but there was a problem by using virtual inheritance.
You should use virtual inheritence unless you really want two copies
of the base class (which I doubt).

> >shared_ptr<A > a = new A; Don't do the above - the code won't compile on a conforming compiler. Instead, do:
shared_ptr<A> a(new A);
I think, in most cases, shared_ptr<A> a(new A) is not applicable, as
pointers are mostly used, if the class has to be constructed at runtime. If
I could make the initialisation this way, I would not need shared_ptr at
all:
In the class I defined a member variable
shared_ptr<A> a;
In the constructor, depending on the configuration stored in a data file:
a = new A;
Maybe I had to use
a = shared_ptr<A> (new A);
for compilers other than gcc 2.95?

Yes, you do. This bug in 2.95 makes using shared_ptr unnecessarily
hazardous!

boost::shared_p tr did not work, as I needed a pointer to "this" already in
the constructor. As I found no way to fix this, I finally used
boost::intrusiv e_ptr.
As my classes are inherited from a base class, intrusive_ptr was a very good
solution. I can use the address operator for assignment to the
intrusive_ptr, and I can also assign "this" to the pointer at any time.
(Reference counts are incremented/decremented in the base class).

Hi all,
I have a query regarding the exchanging of a

threads both of which having their own internal queues for storing the
shared_ptr. one thread is meant to pass the shared_ptr to another after
its processing.
So when a message arrives i convert it into a class of
my own called 'Msg' and i put the 'Msg' object pointer into a

I was wondering if there is a container (i.e. a vector) that can hold
data structures of differing sizes. I was thinking of something along
the lines of a container of classes. Think of a backpack you can take
items from and put items into of different sizes.
The reason I want to know is I am about to try my hands at learning
classes and need to do it in a way I can grasp - ala gaming concepts
(see inventory example above.)

I understand the semantics of why this works the way it does. But I
wonder if there's a reason for the behaviore at the line marked
"QUESTION". I figured if there is an answer, someone here knows it.
Specifically, part 1 is obvious to most anyone. Part 2 is isomorphic
to part 1, yet behaves differently. If a shared_ptr is const, should
it really allow non-const dereferences?
Thanks,
