Mostly I stick to boost::intrusive_ptr or equivalent in my own C++ code. However, as I developed my own high-level programming language[1], I discovered that having recursive closures implies having reference cycles, and I can no longer say that I’ve never written a mark-and-sweep garbage collector in anger.
It was essential to maintain the property of timely destruction, though, so it sounds like our respective subsystems have similar requirements.
