Problems with shared_ptr wrapping a dynamic array

Question

I wanted to replace some raw pointers in my class with a std::shared_ptr so that I don\'t have to worry when I create copies of that class. But the raw pointers

If you specified the deleter then you don't use T[] in the template argument. Just change T[] to T:

template  shared_ptr make_shared_array(size_t size)
{
  return shared_ptr(new T[size], default_delete());
}

struct Foo
{
  shared_ptr field;
};
