This shouldn't be neccessary. If I understand you correctly, I do this all
the time with boost::shared_ptr.

I assume you have a class directory_iterator which contains a
boost::shared_ptr member. All you should have to do is write an out-of-line
destructor for directory_iterator, which gets declared in a source (not a
header) file.
