where's Boost's shared_ptr destructor?

Phlip

Newsgroupies:

[Apologies for the marginal topicality; I need to cultivate a relationship
with the Boost mailing lists that rises above distracting trivia like
this.]

The purpose of a smart pointer is to delete its pointee when it destructs,
right?

When I grab Boost 1.33.0 and open shared_ptr.hpp and search for ~, I can't
find nothing. No destructor.

What is the purpose of the shared pointer template? To wrap pointers and
then leak them?

Take a look at the destructors for the data member types. They are
implicitly called when the shared_ptr object is destroyed.

Oooh, I was about to complain about the complementary evidence; my debugger
cannot seem to trace into them. But that is indeed a platform-specific
issue for the mailing list. It will now have to wait in line, behind my
other issues!

Boost is wonderful, everyone!! Boost rocks!!!
