No-op deallocator for boost::shared_ptr

Question

Is there a stock no-op deallocator in Boost to use with boost::shared_ptr for static objects, etc.

I know it\'s ultra-trivial to write, but I don\'t wan

Answer 1

Solution uses Boost.Lambda:

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
    int *p = new int(5);

    {
        boost::shared_ptr sp(p, boost::lambda::_1);
    }

    delete p;
}

'boost::lambda::_1' creates an empty functor that takes one argument.

You'll probably want to put a //comment in there to let people know why you did it, though.
