there are several completely different crashes there. if you are suffering from the xim related crash, there is nothing i can do about it. get rid of libqxim from your system or move to a version of it that doesn't crash.

if it's a different crash, i'd love to hear about it.

Smart Pointers ?
by KubuntuUser(exMandrake) on Wednesday 01/Feb/2006, @04:44

Thanks a lot Aaron

I'll check and report in bugzilla if I find anything interesting

BTW, does Qt provide smart pointers ? It would be great to have
a solid smart pointer implementation in the kdelibs, right ? I do
lots of c++ programming for work, and if you ask me what's the
single most important missing feature in the STL, I would say
polymorphic smart pointers. Maybe a wrap around the boost reference
counting smart pointers would do. Maybe boost's work should become
part of the STL. But in any case, it would be greate to be able
to forget about deleteing NEW allocated memory, we'd gain a lot in terms
of robutness !

Cheers!

In kdelibs there is KSharedPtr:

That's exactly it ! Thanks a lot for the pointer ;-)

Is it being used extensible ? It would make sense to _only_ use KSharedPtr's as a policy. The only drawback is you need to inherit from QSharedData in most of your classes, but the advantages are gigantic !

i'm using KSharedPtr quite a lot in kicker, though that's not the issue with the crashes people were seeing in 3.5.0 at all.

Oh, I see, I took a quick look at the patch you posted for the bug, and I got the impression that using a smart ptrs would have avoided the crash, but it was just a quick impression and obviously wrong. Cheers , and thanks for the great work !
:-)

Thank you Aaron !
