Kyle, Your comment brings things into better focus; it appears that template instantiation is happening after the compiler attempts to synthesize the ivar and accessor methods. Again, my C++-foo is weak but I recall that template instantiation happens as a separate compilation step, no? Too bad; it's a shame to have to resort to allocating a shared_ptr on the heap just to play nicely with modern C++ code that's using RAII (including smart pointers) to manage memory. -Barry > > --Kyle Sluder > _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
