What's your convention for typedef'ing shared_ptr?

Question

I\'m flip-flopping between naming conventions for typedef\'ing the boost::shared_ptr template. For example:

typedef boost::shared_ptr FooPtr;
         


        

Answer 1

My first response is to ask, "Why typedef that?"

In reply to your edit: Actually that's a rather interesting approach that could be useful in many situations. Using it to go back to your original question you might have:

struct object
{
  typedef object* ptr_t;
  typedef shared_ptr
