Can anyone tell me the status on whether the shared_ptr is becoming part
of
the C++ Standard Library and, if so, when it might be part of MS VS C++?
I
see issues about it in the standards working group
(http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/) but can't tell if it's part of the
standard yet or not. Thanks!

shared_ptr is already part of TR19768 (C++ Library TR1) which has been
approved. As of the Berlin meeting last April, the C++ committee voted
to incorporate most of TR1 (including shared_ptr) into the next revision
of Standard C++. You can get all that stuff now by licensing our upgrade
library for VC++ and layering it atop the shipped library.

We're still trying to convince Microsoft to license our TR1 code sooner
rather than later, instead of waiting several years for it to become a
formal part of the new C++ Standard. Microsoft is very much driven by
perceived customer demands. If you want it, let 'em know.
