scoped_ptr is not copy able and is being deleted out of the scope. So it is kind of restricted shared_ptr. So seems besides the cases when you really need to restrict the copy operation shared_ptr ...

Consider the following code snippet. The destructor of boost::scoped_ptr is invoked at the end of the main function. The destructor uses boost::checked_delete to deallocate the encapsulated Widget ...

I usually use a boost::scoped_ptr for pimpl's (for one reason because then I don't get surprises if I forget to deal with the copy constructor) With templates however I can't just put the destruc...

I have just started using c++ boost libraries. I read in many places that when a scoped_ptr is used then the object is always destroyed even in case of exceptions. They behave much like built-in...

I have working in large application which contain c and cpp. The all files saved as cpp extension but the code is written in c- style. I mean it is define structure rather than class allocate memor...

I want to use smart pointer in my c++ application. Which header file I should include for using std scoped_ptr?

Boost's make_shared() function promises to be exception-safe while attempting to create a shared_ptr. Why is there no make_scoped() equivalent? Is there a common best practice? Here's a code exam...

What is the objective of scoped pointer? to my understanding, the scoped pointer manages the memory within a block of code. If i want to declare a variable within a block , i can just declare it on...

I am using scoped_ptr inside small functions like this. so that I don't have to call delete. Is this an overkill for this usage? My team members prefer raw pointers and delete. What is the cost of ...

Why is the destructor not invoked in this code? #include <boost/scoped_ptr.hpp> #include <iostream> class MyClass { boost::scoped_ptr<int> ptr; public: MyClass() : ptr(new int) ...

Is the sole difference between boost::scoped_ptr<T> and std::unique_ptr<T> the fact that std::unique_ptr<T> has move semantics whereas boost::scoped_ptr<T> is just a get/res...

Or if i need to do that, then i should just use shared_ptr?

Can a class member of type boost::scoped_ptr be initialized inside the class' constructor? How? (Not in the initialization list)
