That's one of the things I love about Qt; object hierarchies give me
working dynamic memory management without needing even smart pointers.
That's the one thing that makes me queasy about using Qt in large
applications; I always need
to worry about ownership relationships, because I can't program with
smart pointers. I had the pleasure
of writing smart-pointer-only code 20 years ago; it was quite
pleasant, especially considering that
the largeish application was leaking like a sieve and doing
use-after-free in all too many places.
Once we plugged boost's smart pointers into it, all those problems
went away over a weekend,
and we never looked back.
A very good example on how to kill a library by simply using smart
pointer everywhere is QtXmlPatterns:
https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20QTBUG%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Reported%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22XML%3A%20QtXmlPatterns%22%20ORDER%20BY%20key%20DESC
Any proffs that any of these issues were caused by smart pointers?
Otherwise I would not have mentioned it. Just take a look at the code
and one of the bug report issues... it awesome and you will see why
nobody want/can maintain this library.
