- pjmlp 5y agoOh boy, OWL, MFC and VCL were used in the 90s, with their ComPtr smart pointer for COM/ActiveX/OLE 2.0.
- varjag 5y agoI worked with C++ & MFC in mid-late 1990s, smart pointers weren't an option. Maybe if you do something against MS oddball APIs, but not in general programming, not even for mainstream MFC uses. And what was there was entirely non-idiosyncartic, it's like claiming C++ had garbage collection in 1990s because you could bolt on Boehm's.
