> How do you heck know how my programs need fixing? You where the one complaining that sample one liners with void return types where bad code. In my experience shared_ptr is overkill in nearly all trivial code examples, so any one liner containing one is bad code. > Any positive reactions to smart pointers on my side may be fuelled by over 30 years experience in using them. Hope you never had to deal with code reviews that suggested putting scoped std::vector uses in shared_ptr s to avoid stack overflows. Or really any code that put objects into smart pointers because it could not because it should.
