I'm not really sure what you mean by "in theory". Theory, (and
practice on most compilers) indicates that shared_ptr<void> works and
should delete the Object. If it is not happening for you, it's
probably a bug in your compiler. I note that gcc 2.95.4, like 2.96
which Redhat so inadvisedly shipped, is not an official release. A
list of official releases can be found at:
