I know what boost::shared_ptr does… but boost::make_share came up what does that do.
Here is the code for boost::shared_ptr which shows my extend of knowledge… 

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
class Student
{
private:
    std::string m_sName;

    std::string m_sId;
public:
    Student(std::string sName, std::string sId);

    ~Student();
    std::string getName() const;
    std::string getId() const;
};
Student::Student(std::string sName, std::string sId) : 
                        m_sName(sName), 
                        m_sId(sId)
{
    //Everything has been init
}
Student::~Student()
{
    //Nothing to do
    std::cout << "Elvis has left the building." << std::endl;
}
std::string Student::getName() const
{
    return m_sName;
}
std::string Student::getId() const 
{
    return m_sId;
}
typedef boost::shared_ptr<Student> StudentPtr;
int main()
{
    StudentPtr pStudent( new Student("Leon Anavi", "F010203") );
    std::cout << "Student: " << pStudent->getName() << " " 
        << pStudent->getId() << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
