Hi
Joe,
this
is not in the scope of this class. Since you cannot request the size from an
array you've allocated dynamically, the shared_array cannot report
either.
Greetings,
Jörg
I have been using the shared_ptr
from "smart_ptr.hpp" and have found it very useful. However, I am afraid
to try using the shared_array from the same file. The problem is that
shared_array does not have a size() member function. This makes it very
dangerous to use the shared_array if the user doesn't know what size
array it was created with, for instance if it was returned from a
function.
I think the shared_array would be much
more useful with a size() member. However, this would
necessitate changing the constructor and the reset() function to take an extra
parameter to indicate the size. Also, it would
necessitate using a third pointer to store the size.
