[Boost-users] deepcpy_ptr

Dear all,

I couldn't find functionality a la deep copy pointer in boost. Isn't this an 
idea to extend the smart_ptr library with it?

Basically it has the same functionality as if the object was hold by value, 
but sometimes you want to dismiss the header file and only have a fwd decl:

#include "bla.hpp"

struct Foo
{
   Bla   m_Bla;
};

deep copy:

class Bla;   //fwd decl. is sufficient
{
   deepcpy_ptr<Bla>  m_ptr;
};

Or do I overlook something?

Wkr,
me
