These objects will be referenced from multiple places. Obviously, I need a shared_ptr, however, I am worried about the performance during creation and deletion Can you use a boost::pool interface with the shared_ptr? I have tried using the pool, object_pool, singleton_pool interfaces but I can't get the constructor to run on my object. If I use the pool_alloc interface I have to use a container. Basically, I want to allocate objects from a memory pool and have these object pointed to by smart/shared_ptr so that when all of the references to the object are gone the object is deleted. Can anyone help me? }}}" Support Requests closed smart_ptr None None
