Fully thread-safe shared_ptr implementation

Question

Does anybody know of a fully thread-safe shared_ptr implementation? E.g. boost implementation of shared_ptr is thread-safe for the targets (refcounting

Answer 1

Your compiler may already provide the thread safe smart pointers in the newer C++ Standards. I believe TBB is planning on adding a smart pointer, but I don't think it's been included yet. You may be able to use one of TBB's thread-safe containers, though.
