[Rock-dev] adding boost::shared_pointer and boost::weak_pointer to rtt/rock?

[Matthias Goldhoorn]

"Moin moin",

What would be needed to add some of the boost shared_pointer structures 
to rock/rtt?
special boost::shared_pointer and boost::weak_pointer?

How is the transport of the smart_ptr currently handled?, what happen if 
the same object is send twice trough an RTT port over the boarders of a 
application (or machine) (e.G. CORB//mqueues)?. Is there a tracking of 
object identification/id? or will be the object simply represented twice 
on the receiving machine?

e.G.

smart_ptr<foo> p1;
smart_ptr<foo> p2;
smart_ptr<foo> p3;

data_structure ds;
ds.foo = p1;
ds.foo.bla = p2;

_port.send(ds);
ds.foo.bla = p3;
_port.send(ds);

Will there then on the receiver side 2 instances of the under laying 
object of p1 or only one?
