[Boost-users] Shared pointer over-write

Shared pointer question:
func(...)
{
    shared_pointer<foo> p;
             p = list<shared_pointer<foo> >.pop_front();   
             p = list<shared_pointer<foo> >.pop_front();
}

Will this cause a memory leak?  Do I need to do a delete in between, or 
does the act of
reassignment cause the prior object to be dereferenced?

Thanks,
