[Boost-users] Using boost::mutex in a boost::shared_ptr

Hi

Can I store boost::mutex'es in a map using the following constuct

typedef boost::shared_ptr<boost::mutex>    MutexPtr;

typedef map< std::string, MutexPtr>            MutexMap;

MutextMap  mmap;

mmap["foo"] = MutexPtr( new boost::mutex );

I'm not sure that this is safe to do - the boost::mutex is
boost::noncopyable which might indicate that there could be a
potentional problem.

Thanks in advance
