Edit Question
Title
Body
I have many boost::shared_ptr<MyClass> objects, and at some point I intentionally want to delete some of them to free some memory. (I know at that point that I will never need the pointed-to MyClass objects anymore.) How can I do that? I guess you can't just call delete() with the raw pointer that I get with get() . I've seen a function get_deleter(shared_ptr<T> const & p) in boost::shared_ptr , but I'm not sure how to use it, and also it says experimental right next to it. (I think I have Boost 1.38.) Maybe just assign a new empty boost::shared_ptr to the variable? That should throw away the old value and delete it.
