Using g++ 2.95.4,

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/shared_ptr>

struct Object {
   ~Object () {
       std::cout << "byebye" << std::endl;
    }
};

int main () {
    Object o; // destructs
    boost::shared_ptr<void> (new Object); // does not destruct, however
apprears to delete
     std::cout << "done." << std::endl;
}

I didn't find any special documentation explaining special use of
boost::shared_ptr<void>.
