auto_ptr is pretty neat, and useful for many situations. But there are more smart pointers to remember with cool features of their own! :-)Boost is a great library, and everyone should have one. One of the Boost smart pointers that is going into the next version of the C++ standard is shared_ptr. This baby keeps a reference count and can be owned in more than one place. That makes it great for putting into STL containers, unlike auto_ptr, which passes its ownership around and tends to get accidentally deleted when used with containers.
