Supply type info to debug hooks

[Jim Barry <jim@…>]

I have found it very useful to have access to the type names of shared objects for debugging purposes. May I suggest adding a type_info parameter to the hook functions:

void sp_scalar_constructor_hook( void * px, std::size_t size, 
    std::type_info const & ti, void * pn );

void sp_scalar_destructor_hook( void * px, std::size_t size, 
    std::type_info const & ti, void * pn );

Then sp_counted_impl_p can call them like this:

explicit sp_counted_impl_p( X * px ): px_( px )
{
#if defined(BOOST_SP_ENABLE_DEBUG_HOOKS)
    boost::sp_scalar_constructor_hook( px, sizeof(X), typeid(X), this );
#endif
}

virtual void dispose() // nothrow
{
#if defined(BOOST_SP_ENABLE_DEBUG_HOOKS)
    boost::sp_scalar_destructor_hook( px_, sizeof(X), typeid(X), this );
#endif
    boost::checked_delete( px_ );
}

Thanks!
