[Boost-users] <smart_ptr> scoped_ptr with an ownership flag?

Suppose that class A that accepts a pointer to class
B. An instance of A class can own the pointer or it
can share it with some other A instances. The
knowledge of whether or not the A instance should own
the pointer is something that depends by the one that
construct the instance. Shared_ptr seems as a good
candidate for this problem but what if the pointer
passed to the A instance might come from a legacy code
that works with raw-pointers ? I think that a kind of
scoped_ptr with a ownership flag will help here
