Re: [Cppcms-users] What's the difference between booster::shared_ptr and boost::shared_ptr

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

booster::shared_ptr and boost::shared_ptr are almost identical, in fact the code of booster::shared_ptr
was borrowed from the Boost project.

I say almost identical because there is a one important difference:

booster::shared_ptr has stable ABI and API - i.e. it does not break between releases even
if some new atomic reference counting model will be provided. Its ABI and API is not changed
by some debug macros etc like ones of the boost::shared_ptr.

Bottom line many Booster interface are similar or identical to Boost one with an exception of stable ABI support.
