Boosters,

I want to write a function which compares two shared_array's element-wise (operator==() compares for pointer equality).

How to get the number of elements a given shared_array contains? At first glance there seems to be no possibility; am I missing something?

You can't do it (just as with ordinary pointers), at least not without resorting to platform specific hacks. You probably want std::vector. Tom -- C++ FAQ: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ C FAQ: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html
