Steven,

Thank you, I did not know about phoenix's operator capability.

Do you agree with this statement:

GetC increments the shared_ptr's reference count when it returns a
shared_ptr to operator*.  After operator* dereferences, it decrements
the shared_ptr reference count.  Then the function "x" is executed.
Hence nobody is holding a reference count on behalf of function "x".

Thank you again,

Chris
