The more I see how awkward my suggestion can be, the more I hesitate to deprecate Gtk::manage() even if we have support unique_ptr<>. > and use std::make_unique in > the implementation and reduce the implementation complexity for later > releases this way. [snip] The implementation is in GObject and GtkObject. My hope is to use std::unique_ptr<> to express ownership, and avoid leaks, until we add the child to a container. [snip] >Have you considered std::shared_ptr as well? [snip] I think we'd eventually like to replace Glib::RefPtr<> with std::shared_ptr<>, keeping a single GObject ref shared between all std::shared_ptr<>. And hopefully we could make that work with widgets too. But that's a far bigger, and incompatible, change. Maybe for gtkmm 4 one day. To use std::shared_ptr<> now, for this simpler use, would cause confusion with Glib::Reftr<> and be almost as hard to make work. -- Murray Cumming murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
