Just some nit-pick comments. :-)
void assign(T* c)
{
detach();
if (c) {
counted_ = c;
refs_ = new size_t(1);
}
else {
counted_ = 0;
refs_ = 0;
}
}
In a very rare case, the call to:
assign(new SomeObject);
will leak memory if the new size_t(1) runs out of memory and throws an
exception.
Also, I'm more paranoid, and would probably zero the pointers in
detach() anyway, just in case of that new exception.
Although if new throws, we have bigger problems to worry about. :-)
I usually don't even bother catching out of memory exceptions. But
a library probably shouldn't leak, in case there are people who do
catch out-of-mem.
