Handle connection/disconnection of many signals/slots with boost::signals2

Question

I\'ve started using boost::signals2 instead of my old signals-code. I\'m having a problem with administering multiple connections though. Here\'s my problem:

I haven't tried it myself but according to boost documentation

When Can Disconnections Occur? (Intermediate)

Signal/slot disconnections occur when any of these conditions occur:

• The connection is explicitly disconnected via the connection's disconnect method directly, or indirectly via the signal's disconnect method, or scoped_connection's destructor.
• An object tracked by the slot is destroyed.
• The signal is destroyed.

Unless you use a scoped_connection the connection between a signal and slot will remain valid until either of them is destroyed. So as far as I understand you don't need to store connection objects in a vector. Just connect your signal to your slot as you are doing now.

When your observed object goes out of scope it will delete the connection by itself.

This is a much simpler design.
