Hi,
I was wondering, since STL containers are based around copying, whether
it's a good idea to use reference counted smart pointers, such as
boost::shared_p tr in STL containers.
I can't store the objects directly in a container, because they must
not be duplicated, so I have to use pointers. I'm just not certain about
using raw pointers or some kind of smart pointer.
Regards,
Matthias

A reference-counted pointer such as boost::shared_p tr is almost always
the correct choice in situations such as this.

Hm, yes probably you're right. It's just that I'm getting segfaults on
program exit, and it's almost certainly due to the smart pointers I'm
holding in a std::set. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Is there anything special I have to watch out for when storing a
boost::shared_p tr in an STL container?

Could you post a (small if possible) piece of code that demonstrates the
problem?

Sure. I have started a new thread dealing with the problem directly, I
will post the relevant parts of my code there.

If you want to make sure you don't have duplicates, consider using
either a clone smart pointer or a COW smart pointer.
See following links: http://code.axter.com/copy_ptr.h http://code.axter.com/cow_ptr.h http://code.axter.com/clone_ptr.h
Both the copy_ptr and clone_ptr class will make sure you only have
unique pointers, and have strict pointer ownership logic, which means
they do NOT share their pointers.
cow_ptr does share the pointer, until an attempt is made to access the
non-constant version of the pointer. At that point, it will clone
(copy) itself. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I propose a new class of exception safety known as the

promises to clean up resources whose ownership is
passed into the function, for whatever defintion of "clean
up" is most appropriate for the resource passed.
Note that this is different from both the basic and the...

hi,
When I considered about preventing memory leaking, the method came up
to my mind is using boost smart pointer if possible (use stl::vector
instead of type, use smart pointer whenever declare an instance of
class). With the container of STL, this may often result in a vector of
smart pointers, or a smart pointer of STL container. Am I making things
too complicated or this is an usual implementation? Thanks in advance.

Someone made the statement in a newsgroup that most C++ programmers use
smart pointers. His actual phrase was "most of us" but I really don't think
that most C++ programmers use smart pointers, but I just don't know.
I don't like them because I don't trust them. I use new and delete on pure
pointers instead.
Do you use smart pointers?

Dear All,
The problem of choosing pointer or reference is always confusing me.
Would you please give me some suggestion on it. I appreciate your kind
help.
For example, I'd like to convert a string to a integer number.
bool Convert(const string& str, int* pData);
bool Convert(const string& str, int& data);

I remember there was a thread a while back that was talking about using the
return value of a function as a reference where I had thought the reference
would become invalidated because it was a temporary but it was stated that
it would not. This has come up in an irc channel but I can not find the
original thread, nor can I get any code to work.
Foo& Bar( int Val )
{
return Foo( Val );
