Extending shared_ptr to Support Arrays, Revision 2

by Peter Dimov

Excerpt:

This paper proposes adding array support to shared_ptr, via the syntax shared_ptr<T[]> and shared_ptr<T[N]>.

...

Thanks to Glen Fernandes, whose contribution of boost::make_shared for arrays prompted the boost::shared_ptr additions proposed herein.

Thanks to Daniel Krügler for reviewing an earlier revision of this paper and suggesting wording improvements.

Thanks to Jonathan Wakely for providing valuable feedback.
